Reaction Steps

6-Amino-2-chloropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.25 g, 12 mmol, 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenylboronic acid (3.27 g, 16 mmol), and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (842 mg, 1.2 mmol) were combined in 12 mL of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and 12 mL of water. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 h and the cooled reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with water, dried, and concentrated under vacuum. The product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to yield the title compound (2.0 g, 53.5% yield): mp 188-190° C.: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.66 (dd, 1H), 7.22 (dd, 1H), 7.14 (s, 1H), 5.25 (br s, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H), 3.99 (s, 3H).
