Reaction Steps

To an oven-dried flask under N2 was added 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (860 mg, 5.76 mmol), anhydrous degassed THF (100 mL), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (81 mg, 0.12 mmol), copper(I) iodide (13 mg, 0.07 mmol), and TEA (1.26 g, 0.013 mol). After heating the reaction at 60° C. for 30 min, N-[5-ethynyl-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (560 mg, 2.30 mmol, obtained from composite batches) was added dropwise as a solution in THF (10 mL) and the resulting mixture was allowed to heat overnight at 60° C. The crude reaction mixture was adsorbed to silica gel and purified by column chromatography (0-10% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the desired product (0.68 g, 42%) as an off white solid. ESIMS (M+H)+=356.
