Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (1.01 mL, 17.6 mmol) was added to a mixture of 3-bromo-5-(difluoromethyl)aniline (1.30 g, 5.86 mmol) and 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (2.14 g, 11.7 mmol) in dioxane (5.0 mL). The mixture was heated to 105° C. for 16 hrs then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with dilute aqueous NaHCO3, brine and dried. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0-15% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to yield N-[3-bromo-5-(difluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (741 mg, 2.01 mmol, 34%).
