Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(5-benzyl-2-(4-cyanophenylamino)-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile (240 mg, 0.51 mmol) in 1,2-dichlorobenzene (20 mL) was added AlCl3 (681 mg, 5.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 160° C. for 1.5 h, during which time the reaction mixture became dark and homogeneous. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled and washed with NH4Cl. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC eluting with Hexanes:Ethyl acetate (2.5:1) and produced the product as a pink solid (51 mg, 26%).
