Reaction Steps

(E)-3-[4-(2,6-difluoro-phenylamino)-6-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-phenyl)-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidin-5-yl]-acrylic acid ethyl ester (8.1 g, 17.6 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous toluene. Reaction mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 220° C. for 48 h, toluene was evaporated and the yellow residue purified by Flash chromatography to give 7.1 g (96%) of 8-(2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-4-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-phenyl)-2-methylsulfanyl-8H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.24 (s, 3H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 6.63 (d, 1H, J=9.6 Hz), 7.03-7.20 (m, 4H), 7.25 (m, 1H), 7.51 (m, 2H); LC MS (m/e)=414 (MH+).
