Reaction Steps

n-Propanesulfonic acid [6-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-5-p-tolyl-pyrimidin-4-yl]-amide (115.5 mg) was dissolved in THF (10 ml) and sodium hydride (60 mg) was added followed by stirring for 15 min at 50° C. Then 2-methanesulfonyl-5-methoxy-pyrimidine (138 mg) was added and stirring was continued for 8 h at 75° C. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice water, acidified with solid citric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated. The crude material was purified by plate chromatography with diethyl ether to give propane-1-sulfonic acid {6-[2-(5-methoxy-pyrimidin-2-yloxy)-ethoxy]-5-p-tolyl-pyrimidin-4-yl}-amide (61 mg) as a white powder. LC-MS: tR: 4.51, [M+H]+: 460.27.
