Reaction Steps

Into a 1-neck round-bottom flask were added [3-({5-chloro-4-[(3-methoxybenzyl)amino]pyrimidin-2-yl}amino)phenyl]methanol (0.66 g, 1.8 mmol) and 5 mL of methylene chloride. To the above mixture was slowly added a solution of boron tribromide in methylene chloride (2.7 mL, 2.7 mmol, 1.0 M) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature (“rt”) and stirred overnight. The resultant mixture was cooled in a dry ice bath when water (10 mL) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm up to rt, followed by an addition of EtOAc. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc twice. The organic layers were combined and solvent removed under vacuum. The crude was purified by prep-HPLC to give the desired product (730 mg, 99%).
