Reaction Steps

In a sealed tube was added 1-(4-(5-benzyl-2-chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone (111 mg, 0.27 mmol), 4-aminobenzonitrile (129 mg, 1.1 mmol), TFE (1.7 mL) and TFA (0.2 mL, 2.16 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 16 h. Upon completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was cooled, diluted with water, and washed with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with NaHCO3 and brine; dried over Na2SO4; filtered; and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with hexanes:ethyl acetate (9:1-100% EtOAc), to give the product as an off-white solid (68 mg, 51%).
