Reaction Steps

Next, into a recovery flask equipped with a reflux pipe were put 1.9 g of 4-chloro-5-methyl-6-(2-methylphenyl)pyrimidine obtained in Step 1, 1.7 g of phenylboronic acid, 1.1 g of sodium carbonate, 0.105 g of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)dichloride (abbreviation: Pd(PPh3)2Cl2), 20 mL of water, and 20 mL of acetonitrile, and the air in the flask was replaced with argon. This reaction container was heated by irradiation with microwaves (2.45 GHz, 100 W) for 1 hour. After that, water was added to this solution and an organic layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The obtained organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, water, and saturated saline, and was dried with magnesium sulfate. The solution after drying was filtered. The solvent of this solution was distilled off, and then the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane and ethyl acetate as a developing solvent in a ratio of 9:1 and the obtained fraction was concentrated, so that 5-methyl-6-(2-methylphenyl)-4-phenylpyrimidine was obtained (a white solid, yield of 87%). A synthesis scheme (q-2) of Step 2 is shown below.
