Reaction Steps

To a vial was added N-azetidin-3-yl-2-(3-fluorophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (0.04 g, 0.13 mmol), 2-chloro-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile (32.5 mg, 0.19 mmol), and 0.3 mL each of n-butanol, TEA and water. The mixture was heated to 90° C. for 12 hrs and then diluted with ethyl acetate and brine. The layers were separated and the organic layer dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed to give a solid, which was purified by chromatography (silica, DCM to 1-5% MeOH/DCM) to give the product, N-[1-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl]-2-(3-fluorophenyl)pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (52 mg, 76%). HRMS (M+H)=403.1682 expected, 403.1750 observed.
