Morpholine → (2-Benzyloxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(5-morpholin-4-yl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(2-Benzyloxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(5-bromo-pyrimidin-2-yl)-amine (3.75 g) is dissolved in toluene (50 ml) and thereto are added tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (516 mg), 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl (673 mg), sodium tert-butoxide (813 mg) and morpholine (740 μl), and the mixture is stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature overnight. To the reaction solution are added a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by NH-silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1→4:1) to give (2-benzyloxy-5-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(5-morpholin-4-yl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-amine (2.46 g). MS (m/z): 671 [M+H]+
