Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dimethoxy-2-(4-methoxypiperidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-5-amine (36.97 g, 137.8 mmol), triethylamine (15.25 g, 21.0 mL, 150.7 mmol) in ethyl acetate (370 mL) was added tert-butylacetyl chloride (20.26 g, 21.0 mL, 150.5 mmol, 1.1 equiv) dropwise over 15 min. The resulting suspension was stirred overnight at RT, then poured into water, stirred 30 min, and subsequently transferred to a separatory funnel rinsing with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The organic extract was separated and washed with brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide yellow-orange solids, which were taken up in 1:1 heptane: methyl tert-butylether (500 mL) and stirred at RT. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the solids were washed with 1:1 heptane: methyl tert-butylether (100 mL) and dried to afford 39.76 g of N-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-(4-methoxypiperidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-5-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanamide, Example 1, as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.14 (br. s., 1H) 4.23 (ddd, J=14.2, 5.7, 4.5 Hz, 2H) 3.87 (s, 6H) 3.40-3.48 (m, 1H) 3.39 (s, 3H) 3.37 (assumed ddd, J=13.5, 9.2, 3.3 Hz, 2H partially obscured by singlet) 2.20 (s, 2H) 1.83-1.99 (m, 2H) 1.47-1.61 (m, 2H) 1.10 (s, 9H).
