Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (319 mg, 1.68 mmol), 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (250 mg, 1.68 mmol), Na2CO3 (445 mg, 4.20 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (97.0 mg, 0.0839 mmol) were combined in a 5 mL reaction vial and diluted with toluene (3 mL) and water (300 μL). The reaction was purged with argon, heated to 60° C. and stirred overnight. The reaction was loaded directly onto silica gel and eluted with 5% ethyl acetate/hexanes to 60% ethyl acetate/hexanes to yield the desired compound (120 mg, 0.464 mmol, 27.6% yield).
