Reaction Steps

To a 100-mL, round-bottomed flask containing a solution of 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-7-[6-(4-trifluromethyl-phenyl)-pyrimidin-4-yloxy]-quinoline, (Example 22(b)), (0.25 g, 0.53 mmol) in EtOAc (20 mL) was added Zn (0.87 g, 13 mmol, Aldrich), AcOH (61 mg, 1.1 mmol), and water (40 mg, 1.1 mmol). The mixture was heated at 70° C. with stirring for 2.5 h. After cooling to room temperature, 5% aq. Na2CO3 was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (30 mL). The organic phase was washed with water (2×10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuum. Purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography (gradient: 3:1 hexanes:EtOAc) gave the title compound. Mp: 129–131° C. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 436 (M+1).
