Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0) (0.015 g, 16.5 μmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.008 g, 32.0 μmol) under nitrogen is stirred for 5 min, treated with 2-amino-5-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-5-[3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-3-methyl-3,5-dihydroimidazol-4-one (0.154 g, 0.33 mmol), 5-pyrimidine boronic acid (0.046 g, 0.37 mmol), sodium carbonate (0.105 g, 0.99 mmol) and water, heated at reflux temperature for 1.25 h, cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue is purified by flash chromatography (silica, 95:5:0.5 methylene chloride/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide as eluent) to afford a viscous oil. This oil is suspended in a mixture of methylene chloride/hexanes and concentrated to afford the title compound as an off-white solid, 0.045 g (29% yield), mp 102-110° C., identified by HNMR and mass spectral analyses. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.15 (s, 1H), 8.95 (s, 2H), 7.62-7.56 (m, 2H), 7.39-7.27 (m, 4H), 3.12 (s, 3H); IR 3353, 3061, 2956, 1732, 1668, 1498, 1470, 1416, 1251, 1216, 1170 cm−1; ESI MS m/z 464 [C21H14F5N5O2+H]+; HPLC (Method 2) 95.0% (AUC) tR=13.78 min.
