Reaction Steps

To a 25 ml glass vial was added (+)-(R)-tert-butyl 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (300 mg, example 192(f)) and 5-trifluoromethyl-pyrimidin-2-ylamine (156 mg, CAS 69034-08-8) in dioxane (5 ml). The reaction mixture was purged with argon for 5 min. 2-Di-tert-butylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (58.3 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (30.5 mg) and sodium tert-butoxide (89.8 mg) were then added. The vial was capped and heated at 100° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered through sintered glass and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel; gradient: 0% to 60% EtOAc in heptane) to afford (R)-tert-butyl 2-(2-fluoro-4-(5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (304 mg, 83%) as an amorphous yellow solid. MS (ISP): 441.2 ([M−H]−).
