Reaction Steps

Palladium(II)acetate (4.2 mg, 0.019 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 2-phenoxymethyl-6H-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-one (150 mg, 0.62 mmol), 4-chloro-2-methoxy-pyrimidine (107.9 mg, 0.75 mmol), Cs2CO3 (283.6 mg, 0.87 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triiso-propyl-1,1′-biphenyl (26.7 mg, 0.056 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) under nitrogen and in a sealed tube. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 3 days and at 140° C. for 15 minutes under microwave irradiation. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica; AcOEt in DCM with a gradient of 0/100 to 100/0). The desired fractions were collected and the solvents evaporated in vacuo. The product was triturated with diethyl ether to yield 6-(2-methoxy-pyrimidin-4-yl)-2-phenoxymethyl-6H-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-one (43 mg, 20% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 4.09 (s, 3H), 5.18 (d, J=0.9 Hz, 2H), 6.77 (dd, J=8.2, 0.6 Hz, 1H), 6.95-7.06 (m, 3H), 7.27-7.36 (m, 2H), 7.85 (d, J=0.7 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 8.24 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 8.65 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H).
