Reaction Steps

The starting material, 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl -3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimid-in-2-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide methanesulfonate is prepared as follows: 98.6 g (0.2 mol) free 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide (for preparation see, for example, EP-A-0 564 409) is added to 1.4 l ethanol. To this beige suspension, 19.2 g (0.2 mol) methanesulfonic acid is added dropwise over a period of 20 minutes. The solution is heated under reflux for 20 minutes and then filtered clear at 65° C. The filtrate is evaporated down to 50% and the residue filtered off at 25° C. (filter material A). The mother liquor is evaporated to dryness. This residue and filter material A are suspended in 2.2 l ethanol and dissolved under reflux with the addition of 30 ml water. Cooling overnight to 25°C., filtration, and drying at 65° C. until constancy of weight is achieved result in 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]benzamide as light beige, crystalline mesylate (α-crystal form).
