Reaction Steps

In a microwave vessel, a suspension of (2,5-difluoro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)trimethylsilane (e.g., WO 2013003740 A1) (1.925 g, 5.05 mmol), methyl 6-amino-2-chloro-5-methoxypyrimidine-4-carboxylate (Head C) (1 g, 4.60 mmol), bis(triphenyl phosphine)palladium(II) chloride (0.323 g, 0.460 mmol) and sodium carbonate (0.584 g, 5.51 mmol) in a 3:1 mixture of acetonitrile (8.62 mL) and water (2.87 mL) was stirred under microwave irradiation (120° C., 20 min). The reaction mixture was poured into an half saturated brine solution and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC (water/acetonitrile gradient) to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.994 g, 58.9%): mp 130-131° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.53 (dd, J=8.4, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (dd, J=10.2, 4.1 Hz, 1H), 5.44 (s, 2H), 4.00 (s, 3H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 0.32 (d, J=0.9 Hz, 9H); 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3) δ −107.45, −107.51, −122.32, −122.37; ESIMS m/z 367 ([M]+).
