Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methyl-pyrimidine (4.00 g, 27.3 mmol) and 3-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenylamine (8.27 g, 35.5 mmol) in dioxane (40.7 mL) was added methanesulfonic acid (1.77 ml, 27.3 mmol) dropwise during which the reaction exothermed 15.7° C. Subsequently the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. and allowed to stir over the weekend. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and was diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography provided (5-fluoro-4-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-[3-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-amine (5.87 g, 17.1 mmol) MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 344.1. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.50 (s, 1H), 838 (d, J=1.6, 1H), 7.81-7.62 (m, 2H), 7.07 (s, 1H), 2.36 (d, J=2.3, 3H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.27 (s, 12H).
