Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-chloro-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purin-8-ylmethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.4 g, 3.33 mmol), 2-ethylbenzimidazole (584 mg, 3.99 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (152 mg, 0.17 mmol), XPhos (317 mg, 0.66 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (2.17 g, 6.65 mmol) in dioxane (15 mL) was purged with argon then heated at 120° C. for 16 h in a sealed tube. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite®, washing with EtOAc, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, EtOAc:cyclohexane, 0-100%) affording the title compound as a cream solid (1.1 g, 62%). LCMS (method H): RT 3.20 min [M+H]+ 531.4
