Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask containing 7-benzyl-2-chloro-4-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine (73 mg, 0.22 mmol) was added commercially available 4-amino-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)benzamide (56 mg, 0.23 mmol), diacetoxypalladium (II), (12 mg, 0.05 mmol) di-tert-butyl(phenyl)phosphine (39 mg, 0.13 mmol), cesium carbonate (125 mg, 0.38 mmol), and toluene (5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 14 h, then cooled to rt and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The material was purified by flash column chromatography to afford N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4-{[4-phenyl-7-(phenylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]amino}benzamide (60 mg, 50%) as an off white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.95 (s, 1H), 9.53 (s, 1H), 7.93 (m, 4H), 7.61 (m, 2H), 7.50 (m, 3H), 7.29 (m, 5H), 7.11 (m, 3H), 3.64 (m, 2H), 3.56 (m, 2H), 2.90 (m, 2H), 2.81 (m, 2H), 2.17 (s, 6H). MS (EI) for C35H33N5O: 540.3 (MH+).
