Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-({2-chloro-7-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl}amino)-6-fluorobenzamide (5.50 g, 11.98 mmol), [4-[4-(1-methylethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]amine (4.5 g, 18 mmol, 1.50 equiv.), and potassium iodide (<20 mg) in trifluoroethanol (200 mL) in a 300 mL sealed tube was added hydrochloric acid as a 4.0M solution in dioxane (12 mL, 48 mmol, 4 equiv.). The vessel was sealed and the resulting suspension was stirred rapidly at 80° C. for 12 hours. TLC/LCMS analysis indicates starting material still remains, so additional hydrochloric acid (5 mL as a 4.0M solution in dioxane) and potassium iodide (<20 mg) were added and heating was continued. Three such reactions were cooled and poured directly in saturated sodium bicarbonate/methylene chloride. The organic layer was collected, concentrated under reduced pressure, and then resuspended in diethylether. Sonication for 10 minutes was followed by filtration to give crude 8-fluoro-5-{[4-[4-(1-methylethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]amino}-3-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrimido[6,1-b]quinazolin-7(3H)-one as an orange solid with sufficient purity for use in the next transformation (23.5 g, ca 99% yield, purity 85-90%). ESIMS (M+H)+=655.
