Phosgene → 1-(2,6-Dichloro-3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl)-3-{6-[4-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethoxy)phenylamino]-pyrimidin-4-yl}-urea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phosgene (20% in toluene, 0.8 mL, 1.58 mmol, 2.4 equiv) is added to a solution of 2,6-dichloro-3,5-dimethoxyaniline (175 mg, 0.79 mmol, 1.2 equiv) in dioxane (2.5 mL), under an argon atmosphere. The mixture is heated to reflux, stirred for 1 h, allowed to cool to RT, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting isocyanate is added to a solution of N-[4-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethoxy)-phenyl]-pyrimidine-4,6-diamine (208.5 mg, 0.66 mmol) in NMP (2 mL), at 75° C. and under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture is stirred at 75° C. for 2 h, allowed to cool to RT, and is then diluted with DCM and a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3. The aqueous layer is separated and extracted with DCM. The organic phase is washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. Purification of the crude product by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH+1% NH3aq, 96:4), followed by trituration of the resulting material in MeOH, affords the title compound as a white solid: ESI-MS: 562.9/564.9 [MH]+; tR=2.99 min (purity: 100%, system 1); TLC: Rf=0.36 (DCM/MeOH+1% NH3aq, 93:7).
