Reaction Steps

A 20-mL vial was charged with methyl 2-(4-((2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)methyl)phenyl)acetate (0.136 g, 0.32 mmol) and ammonium chloride (0.052 g, 0.97 mmol, 3.0 eq.) in methanol (4 mL). To this mixture was added NH3 (8.0 mL, 7N in methanol, 56.0 mmol). The vial was sealed and the resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 70 h. After this time, the crude reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue absorbed on silica (2 g) then purified by chromatography on silica using hexanes/ethyl acetate (10:0 to 0:10) as eluent followed by preparative HPLC (water/acetonitrile with 0.05% TFA) to afford the title compound (0.088 g, 67%) as a white solid. MW=405.80. M.p. 170-172° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 8.37-8.33 (m, 2H), 7.93 (s, 1H), 7.68 (ddd, J=8.0, 2.0, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (br s, 1H), 7.34 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.23 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 6.82 (br s, 1H), 4.30 (s, 2H), 3.33 (s, 2H); APCI MS m/z 406 [M+H]+.
