Reaction Steps

N,N-Bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-(2-(6-methoxypyridin-3-ylamino)-5-(1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (499.0 mg, 0.6744 mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (10.4 mL, 140 mmol) and the flask was fitted with a reflux condenser, placed in a preheated oil bath (75° C.) and stirred overnight. Then, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, concentrated, diluted with DCM (40 mL) and treated with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water, and 5N NaOH until the pH of the aqueous phase was about 7. Then, the layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with DCM and 10:1 DCM/MeOH. During these extractions, 5N NaOH was added to the aqueous phase to raise the pH from about 5 to about 11. The organic extracts were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and purified on a silica gel filter (150 mL fritted filter with about 2 inches of silica gel; 75:1 DCM/MeOH to 50:1 DCM/MeOH to 35:1 DCM/2N ammonia in MeOH to 20:1 DCM/2N ammonia in MeOH to 10:1 DCM/2N ammonia in MeOH) to give 4-(2-(6-methoxypyridin-3-ylamino)-5-(1-(4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (241.9 mg, 72% yield) as a yellow powder. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 11.68 (s, 1H), 8.71 (s, 1H), 8.36 (d, J=2.74 Hz, 1H), 8.27 (d, J=2.35 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (dd, J=8.80 Hz, 2.74 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (d, J=8.80 Hz, 1H), 5.42 (br s, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H), 3.60-3.52 (m, 1H), 3.30-3.20 (m, 4H), 2.77 (s, 3H), 2.70-2.53 (m, 7H), 1.45 (d, J=6.06 Hz, 3H). m/z (ESI, +ve ion) 500 (M+H)+.
