Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-fluoropyridin-3-ylboronic acid (Combi Blocks, 2.507 g, 14.30 mmol), 4-chloro-N,N-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (5.24 g, 13.62 mmol), bis-(di-tert-butyl(4-dimethylaminophenyl)phosphine)dichloropalladium(II) (0.482 g, 0.681 mmol), and potassium acetate (4.10 g, 41.8 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) and water (10 mL) was degassed and stirred under N2 at 100° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature, concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between water (50 mL) and EtOAc (50 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (2×20 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (100 mL). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Chromatographic purification of the residue (silica gel, 15 to 50% EtOAc/hexanes) gave 4-(5-chloro-2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-N,N-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (3.62 g, 7.54 mmol, 55.4% yield). m/z (ESI, +ve ion) 480 (M+H)+.
