Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine hydrochloride (72 mg, 0.190 mmol, 1 equiv), 4-cyclopropyl-3-fluoro-5-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)benzenamine (50 mg, 0.228 mmol, 1.2 equiv), and PTSA monohydrate (30 mg, 0.152 mmol, 0.8 equiv) in IPA (2 mL) were heated to 70° C. for 3 days. LCMS indicated 2-4% of the cleaved tetrazole product. After cooling to ambient temperature, the crude mixture was quenched with 2M NH3/MeOH followed by concentrating to dryness and repeating once. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography and eluted with DCM:2M NH3/MeOH=100:0 to 96:4 using 1% 2M NH3/MeOH increments to provide the desired product which was recrystallized with IPA/hexane to give desired compound (58 mg, 65%) as a solid.
