Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-cyanophenol (12.6 g), potassium carbonate (8.28 g) and (E)-methyl 2-[2-(6-chloropyrimidin4-yloxy)phenyl]-3-methoxypropenoate (33.0 g) was heated at 120° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was then cooled to 100° C. after which methanol (40 ml) was added to help cooling to 65° C. The resulting mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. and kept at this temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered to leave (E)-methyl 2-[2-(6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)phenyl]-3-methoxypropenoate as the residue (87.5%
