Participants

Reaction Steps

(±)-[1-(2,4-Dichloro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-ethyl]-(2-fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-amine (0.45 g; 1.41 mmol) (from Example 8b supra) and phenyl isocyanate (165 μL; 1.52 mmol) (Aldrich) were combined in toluene (5 mL) and heated in an oil bath at 110–120° C. for 2.5 hours and then at 130° C. for 2.5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated and triturated with hexanes. The solid residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage 40S; 30:70 ethyl acetate-hexanes) to give the intermediate (±)-1-[1-(2-chloro-pyrimidin-5-yl)-ethyl]-1-(2-fluoro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-3-phenyl-urea. (Yield 0.27 g; 43.2%).
