Reaction Steps

A 7 mL teflon-faced screw-cap vial was charged with 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl-boronic acid (218 mg, 1.2 mmol, 2 eq.) and dichloro-bis-(diphenylphosphinoferrocene)-palladium-dichloromethane adduct (49 mg, 60 μmol, 10 mol %). In a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere (O2 content<=0.5%), the vial was charged with a solution of the 6-chloro-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid amide (122 mg, 0.6 mmol) in degassed DMF/DME (1/1, 4.5 mL), and a degassed aqueous 1 M solution of potassium phosphate (1.0 mL, 1 mmol, 1.7 eq.). The vial was sealed, withdrawn from the glove box, and agitated in an incubator shaker at 75° C. for 16 hours. The cooled mixture was then diluted with chloroform (15 mL), and washed with brine (20 mL, 2×10 mL), and aqueous 1 M potassium carbonate (10 mL). The organic layer (solution of 6-(2,6-dimethoxy-phenyl)-2-methylsulfanyl-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid amide in chloroform) was then used directly in the next step.
