Reaction Steps

In a microwave vessel, methyl 5-bromo-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-4-carboxylate (1.0 eq, 274 mg, 1.18 mmol), 2-amino-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylboronic acid hydrochloride (1.2 eq, 329 mg, 1.42 mmol), and sodium acetate (3.0 eq, 291 mg, 3.55 mmol) were mixed in anhydrous DMF (2 ml). The mixture was degassed by bubbling nitrogen gas in the solution for 10 min and the reaction heated under microwaves at 120° C. for 30 min. After cooling down the expected material crashed out of NMP. The solid was filtered, suspended in water filtered and dried. The material was triturated in AcOEt and filtered give a yellow solid. The same procedure was repeated 9 times using the same amounts of materials to provide methyl 3-(methylthio)-5-oxo-5,6-dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]quinoline-8-carboxylate (283 mg, 10% yield). LCMS (ES): >95% pure, m/z 302 [M+1]+, 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 2.71 (s, 3H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 7.80 (dd, J=1.6, J=8.4, 1H), 7.97 (d, J=1.6, 1H), 8.59 (d, J=8.8, 1H), 9.98 (s, 1H), 12.34 (s, 1H) ppm.
