Reaction Steps

To a glass vial was added (S)-3-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (intermediate 23) (3.5 g, 10.96 mmol), 5-bromo-2-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (intermediate 1) (3.09 g, 12.05 mmol), sodium tert-butoxide (1.58 g, 16.44 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.502 g, 0.548 mmol), 2-di-t-butylphosphino-2′-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (0.225 g, 0.657 mmol) and anhydrous tert-butanol (6 mL). The vial was flushed with a stream of argon for 15 sec and capped. The mixture was heated with stirring for 5 h at 100° C. Allowed to cool and partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and water (20 mL) and filtered the biphasic mixture through a celite pad. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purified by flash column chromatography through Biotage® amino silica gel eluting with heptane/EtOAc, 100/0 to 0/100 then EtOAc/MeOH (90/10) to give (S)-3-[6-(6-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ylamino]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow foam (4.00 g, 74% yield). LCMS: [M+H]+=495.2, Rt(3)=1.59 min.
