Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[2-chloro-5-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl-phenoxymethyl)-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (700 mg, 1.47 mmol), 2,6-diethylphenylboronic acid (394 mg, 2.21 mmol), 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate (2.21 mL, 4.42 mmol) and toluene (5 mL) is degassed with argon bubbling for 15 min. Pd(PPh3)4 (87 mg, 5 mol %) is added and the resulting yellow-colored mixture is heated at 90° C. under nitrogen with magnetic stirring for 40 h. The reaction mixture is partitioned between EtOAc (50 mL) and water (15 mL), the organic layer is separated, washed with water (15 mL), bring (15 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated at reduced pressure to obtain a yellow liquid. Chromatography on a 30 g silica gel cartridge (10-30% EtOAc/Hexanes) affords the title compound as a colorless oil (along with recovered 4-[2-chloro-5-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl-phenoxymethyl)-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester). LC/MS (Method 3), M+H=573.2, Rt=3.18 min.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ=7.26 (d, 1H), 7.12 (d, 3H), 6.83 (m, 2H), 4.99 (s, 2H), 3.51 (m, 4H), 2.90 (m, 6H), 2.55, (s, 3H), 2.42 (q, 4H) 2.24 (s, 3H), 1.28 (d, 6H), 1.10 (t, 6H).
