Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(methyloxy)-3-{[(2-propen-1-yloxy)carbonyl]amino}benzoate (123 g, 464 mmol), in dry THF (800 mL) at −10° C., LiHMDS (1M in THF, 1440 mmol, 1440 mL) was added dropwise and the solution was allowed to stir for 1 h at 0° C. A solution of 2-chloro-4-methylpyrimidine (72 g, 560 mmol) in THF (150 mL) was then added dropwise to the solution of ester and base at 0° C. over 20 min. The solution was allowed to stir 1 h at rt. TLC showed the reaction was complete. The reaction was quenched by addition of the saturated aqueous NH4Cl (800 mL) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (1 L×3). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine successively, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product, which was purified by flash column on silica gel, eluting with DCM. This solution was evaporated to obtain a solid. The orange solid was triturated with a small amount of EtOAc and filtered, rinsing with diethyl ether to give the title compound of Step E (109.9 g, 67.8% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 13.64-13.68 (br, 1H), 8.38 (d, J=5.3 Hz, 1H), 8.15-8.21 (m, 1H), 7.31-7.39 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.18 (m, 1H), 6.87 (d, J=5.3 Hz, 1H), 6.19 (s, 1H), 5.92-6.15 (m, 1H), 5.23-5.40 (m, 2H), 4.66-4.70 (m, 2H), 3.76 (s, 3H).
