Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Step 2 (258 mg, 1.194 mmol) in dioxane (3.8 mL) were added 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine (251 mg, 1.373 mmol) and methanesulfonic acid (0.07 mL, 1.015 mmol). The reaction was then stirred overnight at 100° C. The reaction was then cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate and then washed with brine solution. The organic layer was collected, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. Ethyl acetate was then removed in vacuo. Flash chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate: 70/30) was used for purification to afford N-[3-bromo-5-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine as an off-white solid (314 mg, 0.867 mmol, 72.6% yield). MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z=362.0.
