Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-5-ol (348 mg, 2.0 mmol), 2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylphenylboronic acid (540 mg, 3.0 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (115 mg, 5 mol %) in toluene (12 mL) and sodium carbonate (1M in water, 4 mL) is heated at 95° C. (oil bath temperature) in a pressure tube for 14 hours. The reaction is cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with NaOH (2M) and then brine (2×50 mL). The solvents are dried (sodium sulfate) and removed under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography of the crude product (50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) yields 4-methoxy-2-(6-methoxy-2,4-dimethylphenyl)-6-methylpyrimidin-5-ol as a white solid.
