Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-amino-2-(1-methanesulfonyl-piperidin-4-ylamino)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-(2,3-difluoro-5,6-dimethoxy-phenyl)-methanone (30 mg, 0.0636 mmol, Example 261) in methylene chloride (20 mL) cooled to 5° C. was added aluminum chloride (129 mg, 0.954 mmol, Fluka). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and quenched with water. Tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water (1×5 mL), brine (1×5 mL) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solids were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography (Biotage system, 60 Å silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate) yielded [4-amino-2-(1-methanesulfonyl-piperidin-4-ylamino)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-(2,3-difluoro-6-hydroxy-5-methoxy-phenyl)-methanone as yellow solids (15 mg, 52%). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C18H22N5O5SF2 [(M+H)+] 458.1307, observed 458.1304.
