Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a reaction flask were added 2,5-dichloro-N-(3-methoxybenzyl)pyrimidin-4-amine (0.20 g, 0.70 mmol) (prepared according to Example 1, step A), 1,4-dioxane (20 mL), 3-methoxy-benzenamine (0.13 g, 1.0 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (49 mg, 0.26 mmol). The mixture was heated at 105° C. for 2 days. To the mixture was added an aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (saturated, 0.5 mL) and the organic solvent was removed under vacuum. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM twice. The combined organic layers were dried, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to provide the desired product (90 mg, 30%). LCMS for C19H20ClN4O2 (M+H)+: m/z=371.1.
