Reaction Steps

To a glass vial was added 3-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (110 mg, 0.359 mmol), 5-Bromo-2-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (92 mg, 0.359 mmol), cesium carbonate (234 mg, 0.718 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (33 mg, 0.036 mmol), X-Phos (58 mg, 0.122 mmol) and anhydrous dioxane (2.0 mL). The vial was flushed with a stream of argon for 15 sec and capped. The mixture was heated with stirring for 1.5 h at 110° C. and then stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Diluted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL), filtered through a celite pad and concentrated in vacuo. Purified by reverse phase Gilson HPLC (Method A) to give the 3-[6-(6-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy]-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester trifluoroacetate as a brown gum (186 mg, 87% yield) LCMS: [M+H]+=482.3, Rt(7)=1.56 min.
