Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-amino-2-[(3-chloropropyl)amino]-4-methoxybenzoate (965 mg, 3.55 mmol) and 5-isothiocyanato-2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine (1.04 g, 5.32 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) was stirred at 40° C. for 3 days. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with diisopropyl ether. A mixture of the solid (1.589 g), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.72 g, 3.76 mmol) and triethylamine (0.52 mL, 3.73 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (16 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hr. 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (130 mg, 0.678 mmol) and triethylamine (0.095 mL, 0.682 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture at room temperature and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature and the mixture was extracted with a mixture of ethyl acetate, THF and N,N-dimethylformamide. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (878.9 mg, 2.03 mmol, 66%) as a pale red solid.
