Reaction Steps

3-[(5-bromo-2-chloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-(2-methoxyethyl)amino]-N-methyl-propanamide (Intermediate 110; 1.12 g, 3.185 mmol) was suspended in dioxane (70 mL), Caesium Carbonate (2.08 g, 6.37 mmol) added and the mixture bubbled with nitrogen for 10 minutes. Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (175 mg, 0.151 mmol) and XANTPHOS (166 mg, 0.287 mmol) were added and the mixture heated to 100° C. for 20 hrs. A further 0.06 equivalent of Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) and 0.09 equivalent of XANTPHOS were added and heating continued for a further 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature filtered and the filter cake washed with DCM. The filtrate was evaporated and dissolved in DCM and purified on silica eluting with a gradient of 40-55% Ethyl Acetate/iso-hexane then 55% Ethyl Acetate/iso-hexane and finally 70% Ethyl Acetate/iso-hexane. Fractions containing product were combined and evaporated to a yellow solid. Which was purified by base modified reverse phase HPLC to yield the title compound as a white solid (157 mg, 18%)
