Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-benzyloxy-2-(2-bromo-5-methoxybenzyl)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (138) (3 g, 5.988 mmol) in n-butanol:water (3:1, 12 mL) were added phenyl boronic acid (1.096 g, 8.982 mmol), X-Phos (427 mg, 0.898 mmol), K3PO4 (4.44 g, 20.958 mmol) and Pd(dba)2 (275 mg, 0.479 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 10 h. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was evaporated to get a crude product which was purified by a normal silica column using 2% methanol in dichloromethane to afford 5-benzyloxy-6-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxybiphenyl-2-ylmethyl)-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (139) (1.7 g, 56.94%) as an off-white solid.
