Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (10.60 g, 76.68 mmol) was added to a mixture of 4-[(E)-2-butoxyethenyl]-2-chloro-5-methylpyrimidine (Intermediate 6, 6.95 g, 30.67 mmol) and 1-aminopyridinium iodide (9.19 g, 41.40 mmol) in DMF (40 mL) at r.t. The resulting dark blue suspension was stirred at r.t. for 3 days (became deep red color) and was then heated at 110° C. for 3 h. The mixture was then cooled, diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) plus a little CH2Cl2. This solution was washed with water (100 mL) and the aqueous wash solution was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with water (4×100 mL) and sat. brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in THF (100 mL) and filtered through a 30 g silica pad. The eluted solution was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was washed with −70° C. CH3OH to give the title compound (2.223 g, 30%) as a beige crystalline solid; 1H NMR: 2.53 (3H, s), 7.22 (1H, m), 7.64 (1H, m), 8.53-8.59 (2H, m), 8.70 (1H, s), 8.90 (1H, d); m/z: ES+ MH+ 245.
