Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-2-methylaniline (1.00 g, 5.37 mmol), potassium acetate (1.59 g, 16.1 mmol) and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (1.64 g, 6.45 mmol) were dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) and the solution degassed for 5 minutes. Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (264 mg, 0.32 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at 90° C. for 4 hours. 2-Chloro-4-[(3S)-3-methylmorpholin-4-yl]-6-(methylsulfonylmethyl)pyrimidine (1.65 g, 5.37 mmol), ethanol (1.5 mL), 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution (3 mL) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (264 mg) were added. The reaction was maintained at 90° C. for 18 hours then allowed to cool to room temperature. Water (15 mL) and ethyl acetate (15 mL) were added and the mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble impurities. The phases were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with a second portion of ethyl acetate (15 mL). The combined organics were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica, eluting with 0-3% methanol in DCM, to give the desired compound as a beige foam (290 mg).
