Reaction Steps

3-Fluoro-5-(1,3-thiazol-5-yl)aniline (0.91 g, 4.69 mmol), 2-chloro-4-cyclopropyl-5-fluoropyrimidine (0.809 g, 4.69 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (0.105 g, 0.469 mmol), Xantphos (0.407 g, 0.703 mmol), and cesium carbonate (3.05 g, 9.37 mmol) were added to a dry flask. Degassed with argon, and then added dioxane (20 mL). The reaction mixture was degassed with argon for five minutes, and then heated to 90° C. After 2 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered through celite, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate and hexanes to afford solids. The solids were dissolved in hot ethyl acetate (25 mL) and then triturated with hexanes (50 mL) while cooling. After 2 hours, the mixture was filtered to afford 4-cyclopropyl-5-fluoro-N-[3-fluoro-5-(1,3-thiazol-5-yl)phenyl]pyrimidin-2-amine (1.2 g, 3.6 mmol, 78%). MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 331.1.
