Reaction Steps

A 10-20 mL microwave vial was charged with 2-chloro-4-methoxypyrimidine (0.835 g, 5.78 mmol), 3-bromo-5-methylaniline (1.075 g, 5.78 mmol), acetic acid (0.347 mL, 6.06 mmol) and dioxane (11.55 mL). The system was purged and flushed with Ar(g) three times before sealing and heating to 120° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was cooled and stirred overnight. The light brown solids were collected by filtration and were dried in a vacuum oven overnight to yield N-(3-bromo-5-methylphenyl)-4-methoxypyrimidin-2-amine (1.7 g, 5.78 mmol, 100% yield) as a tan solid. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 296.0.
