Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8.0 g, (43 mmol) of 4-Bromo-2,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine [CAS 354574-56-4], 8.1 g (51 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) of 3,5-Difluorophenylboronic acid, an 1.917 g (33.0 mmol, 3.3 equiv.) of KF in 80 ml of DME were added 20 ml of 2M sodium carbonate solution and the mixture was purged with Argon for 10 min. Then 2.24 g (8.6 mmol, 0.2 equiv.) of Triphenylphosphine and 0.96 g (4.3 mmol, 0.1 equiv.) of Palladium acetate were added and the mixture was stirred under Argon atmosphere for 18 h at 85° C. The reaction was allowed to cool to r.t., and worked up with ethyl acetate/water. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silicagel (heptane/ethyl acetate 1:1) to yield the title compound (1.96 g, 21%) as a red solid, MS (ISP): m/e=221.2 (M+H)+.
