Reaction Steps

Heat a mixture of 4.0 g (17.34 mmol) of 4-chloro-6-phenylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 4.5 ml (26 mmol) of DIEA and 2.8 g of (+/−)-cis/trans-3-aminocyclohexanol (approx. 85% strength, approx. 20.8 mmol; approx. 3:1 cis/trans mixture; prepared according to J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I, 1994, 537) in 15 ml of DMF is heated to 120° C. overnight. After cooling, add the reaction mixture to water and extract three times with ethyl acetate. Wash the combined organic phases with saturated sodium chloride solution, dry over magnesium sulphate and concentrate under reduced pressure. Repeated stirring of the crude product with a mixture of methyl tert-butyl ether and dichloromethane enriches the product in the mother liquor. After concentrating the mother liquor, filter off the product with suction after crystallization from dichloromethane/methanol (10:1) and dry it under reduced pressure. 1.11 g (20.7% of theory) of the target product are obtained.
