Reaction Steps

t-Butyl 3-ethynylbenzoate (I17) (1.603 g, 7.93 mmol), 4-iodo-2-(methylthio)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (I14) (1.647 g, 5.15 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.316 g, 0.45 mmol), PPh3 (0.355 g, 1.35 mmol), Cu(I)I (0.232 g, 1.22 mmol) and trethylamine (4.00 mL, 28.7 mmol) were combined in DMF (20 mL) and the resulting mixture heated at 120° C. under microwave irradiation for 25 minutes. The mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and purified twice using silica gel column chromatography (10-20% EtOAc/petroleum benzine 40-60° C. then 50-100% DCM/petroleum benzine 40-60° C.) to give the title compound (I18) (0.624 g, 31%) as a yellow solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.73 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 8.25 (m, 1H), 8.08 (m, 1H), 7.78 (m, 1H), 7.48 (m, 1H), 2.63 (s, 3H), 1.61 (s, 9H).
