Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.5M 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) in tetrahydrofuran (17.12 ml) and 2,2-dimethyl-5-methylene-1,3-dioxane. (Tet. Lett. (1988) 29 (45) 5703-5706) (1.3 g) was heated at 45° C. for 18 h. The solution was cooled and added to mixture of palladium(II) acetate, potassium phosphate (1.16 g), (biphenyl-2-yl)dicyclohexyl-phosphine (0.14 g) and 4,6-dichloro-2-[(2,3-difluorobenzyl)thio]pyrimidine (1.5 g) stirred under nitrogen. The mixture was heated in a microwave at 70° C., 250 W for a total of 1.5 h, then 70° C. on a hot-plate for 2 days. The reaction mixture was adsorbed onto silica-gel, the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by flash silica-gel chromatography eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in iso-hexane to give a yellow oil. The oil was further purified by flash silica-gel chromatography eluting with dichloromethane to give the sub-title product as a viscous oil.
