Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 5-(benzyloxy)-6-methyl-2-(piperidin-4-ylmethyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (6.5 g, 15 mmol), 2,5-dibromopyridine (5.3 g, 7.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (6.2 g, 45 mmol) were suspended in N,N-dimethylformamide (150 mL), followed by stirring at 100° C. for 22 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, followed by addition of ethyl acetate, and subsequently the organic layer was washed with water. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (Moritex Corporation, elution solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate), and a fraction corresponding to the Rf value=0.40 (hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1) by thin layer chromatography was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (2.3 g, 4.1 mmol) as a colorless oil (yield 27%).
