Reaction Steps

3-[(5-bromo-2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-(2-methylpropyl)amino]-N-methyl-propanamide (Intermediate 85; 3.26 g, 9.32 mmol)) was suspended in dioxane (70 mL), Caesium Carbonate (6 g, 18.64 mmol) was added and the mixture bubbled with nitrogen for 10 minutes. Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (512 mg, 0.56 mmol) and XANTPHOS (485 mg, 0.839 mmol) were added and the mixture heated at 100° C. for 24 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, solvent evaporated and the residues partitioned between DCM (250 mL) and water (250 mL). The aqueous phase was re-extracted with DCM (200 mL) and the combined organic phases dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to a dark brown gum which was taken up in DCM and purified on silica, eluting with a gradient of 30-50% Ethyl Acetate/iso-hexane then 50% Ethyl Acetate/iso-hexane. Fractions containing product were combined and evaporated to a yellow solid, which was heated at reflux in iso-hexane (50 mL) for 15 minutes and allowed to cool to room temperature overnight. The resulting solid was filtered and dried to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (1.02 g, 41%)
