Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(4-aminophenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (I88) (50 mg, 0.18 mmol) and methyl 2-(2-(2-(2-(methylsulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)ethyl)phenyl)acetate (I67) (72 mg, 0.18 mmol) were heated in trifluoroethanol (1.2 mL) and TFA (0.12 mL) under microwave irradiation (100° C./20 minutes). The mixture was concentrated, evaporated from toluene and loaded onto a 5 g SCX cartridge in methanol (1 mL). The cartridge was washed with methanol (50 mL), and then eluted with 1% methylamine/methanol (50 mL). The basic eluent was concentrated, and taken up in dichloromethane (5 mL). Boc anhydride (0.062 mL, 0.27 mmol) was added, and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was evaporated onto silica gel, and chromatographed (12 g silica cartridge, 0-60% ethyl acetate/petroleum benzine 40-60° C.) to give the title compound (I89) (46 mg, 42% yield) as a pale yellow oil; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 8.55 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.47 (s, 1H), 7.37 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.29-7.18 (m, overlaps with CHCl3), 4.41 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.08 (m, 3H), 3.76 (s, 2H), 3.73-3.64 (m, 4H), 3.16-2.98 (m, 5H), 2.85 (s, 1H), 1.51-1.47 (m, 9H). LCMS Method C: rt 6.88 min; m/z 601.1 [M+H]+, 545.1 [M−tBu+2H]+.
