Reaction Steps

2-(2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-ylamino)-6-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (1.66 g, 4.61 mmol), 1,3-dimethylpyrazol-5-amine (0.523 g, 4.71 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (0.083 g, 0.37 mmol), 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (0.427 g, 0.74 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.804 g, 5.54 mmol) were mixed together in dioxane (30 mL). The reaction was degassed with argon and was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hours under argon. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate concentrated and purified twice by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0 to 4% MeOH in DCM/EtOAc (60:40). The solvent was evaporated to dryness to afford 2-(2-(1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylamino)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-ylamino)-6-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (0.882 g, 44.0%) as a beige solid. 150 mg of this material was dissolved in acetonitrile, concentrated and diluted with DCM. Crystals appeared slowly. The resulting crystalline solid was collected by filtration, washed with DCM and dried to a constant weight to afford 2-[[2-[(2,5-dimethylpyrazol-3-yl)amino]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4-pyridyl]amino]-6-methoxy-N-methyl-benzamide (110 mg, 32.3%) as a white crystalline solid. Melting onset of 163° C.
