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 (200 mg, 0.48 mmol), 2-isopropylbenzimidazole (92 mg, 0.57 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (44 mg, 0.06 mmol), XPhos (58 mg, 0.10 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (310 mg, 0.95 mmol) in toluene (4 mL) was purged with argon then heated at 140° C. for 45 min in a microwave reactor. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite®, washing with MeOH, 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 an off-white solid (255 mg, 99%). LCMS (method A): RT 3.40 min [M+H]+ 545.3
