Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-(3-fluoropyridin-4-yl)-3-methyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (0.60 g, 2.07 mmol), and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylamine (2.9 g, 20.8 mmol) was heated at 120° C. for 8 hours. The resulting suspension was partitioned between chloroform and brine and the aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting 5-10% methanol in chloroform to furnish a colorless oil. The methanol (10 ml) solution of resulting oil was treated with 4N hydrochloric acid (5 ml). The residue obtained by evaporation was washed by ethyl acetate to furnish 6-(3-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylamino)pyridin-4-yl)-3-methyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)-3H-pyrimidin-4-one hydrochloride (0.45 g, 1.01 mmol, 49%) as white crystals.
