Reaction Steps

A vial containing 2-chloro-4-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-6-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl)pyrimidine (0.29 g, 0.98 mmol), 3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)aniline (0.397 g, 1.96 mmol), cesium carbonate (0.637 g, 1.96 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (0.033 g, 0.15 mmol), 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl (0.051 g, 0.15 mmol) and dioxane (14 mL) was capped, evacuated and flushed with nitrogen. The mixture was heated by microwave irradiation at 120° C. for 1.5 h. The volatiles were removed in vacuum and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The solution was filtered through a short pad of silica gel, the pad was washed with ethyl acetate and 10% solution of methanol in ethyl acetate. The solvents were removed in vacuum and the residue was purified by column chromatography using a 0-5% gradient of methanol in dichloromethane to yield the title compound, 418 mg (92%).
