Reaction Steps

5-iodo-N-methylpyrimidin-4-amine (9A) was prepared from 4-chloro-5-iodopyrimidine and methylamine as described in WO2008100456. Compound 9A (37.5 mg, 0.160 mmol.) was then mixed with bis(pinacolato)diboron (46.6 mmg, 0.184 mmol), KOAc (78.3 mg, 0.798 mmol), and PdCl2(dppf) (32.6 mg, 0.040 mmol) in dioxane (2.0 mL). The mixture was heated at 105° C. overnight in a 5 mL sealed tube and then cooled to RT. The reaction was then treated with compound 5D (22.59 mg, 0.0800 mmol), K2CO3 (66.2 mg, 0.48 mmol), PdCl2(dppf) (16.3 mg, 0.020 mmol) and water (1.0 mL) and microwaved for 15 min at 125° C. The mixture was diluted with aq Na2CO3 and extracted with DCM. The organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. Chromatography (0-10% of (9:1 MeOH/NH3) in CH2Cl2) afforded (±)-9 (657 mg). LCMS m/z 312 (MH+).
