Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of (S)-1-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)propan-2-ol (300 g, 1.46 mol), and TEA (300 g, 3 mol) in DCM (4 L) was added 6-chloropyrimidine-4-carbonyl chloride (250 g in 2 L of DCM) slowly at −60° C. over 1 h. After the addition was complete, the mixture was then allowed to warm to 10° C. Stirring was continued for 1 h, at which time TLC showed the reaction was completed. The reaction was quenched by addition of water (2 L). The organic phase was collected, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc˜DCM:MeOH=10:1) to give the desired product as a pale yellow solid. Four batches were run in parallel and produced a combined product weight of 970 g, yield: 49%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD-d4) δ 8.73 (d, J=1.0 Hz, 1H), 8.07 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.17-7.06 (m, 3H), 7.00 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 5.51 (s, 1H), 4.12 (q, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.64-3.53 (m, 2H), 2.94 (q, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 2.92-2.81 (m, 2H), 2.78-2.64 (m, 2H); LCMS (m/z): 347.2 [M+H]+
