Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-bromo-2-cyclopropyl-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-2-chloropyrimidine (2.5 g, 5.8 mmol), DIEA (2.0 mL, 11.6 mmol), and 3-amino-2-methylpropanenitrile (1.49 g, 17.7 mmol) in NMP (10 mL) was treated with Na2CO3 (1.23 g, 11.6 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture heated at 90° C. overnight. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and was partitioned between EtOAc (75 mL) and water (100 mL). The layers were separated and the organic portion was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (100 mL), brine (150 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to a brown residue. Purification by flash chromatography (0-50% EtOAc-heptane) afforded 3-(4-(4-bromo-2-cyclopropyl-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-2-methylpropanenitrile (2.79 g, 5.8 mmol) as a white solid: LCMS (m/z) 477.1 (MH+), tR=0.98 minute.
