Cesium carbonate → 4-(2-Chloro-5-methylpyrimidin-4-ylamino)-2-chlorobenzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-methylpyrimidin-4-amine (144 mg, 1.0 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was added 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzonitrile (217 mg, 1.0 mmol), Cs2CO3 (1.3 g, 4.0 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (91 mg, 0.1 mmol), and 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethyxanthene (Xant Phos, 173 mg, 0.3 mmol). The mixture was heated under reflux for 4 h under Ar. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate washed with brine (1×100 mL). The organic solution was separated and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed until 5 mL and hexane (100 mL) was added, the solid was collected by filtration. The crude product, the title intermediate 26, was used for next reaction without further purification.
