Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (17 mg, 60% in mineral oil) in DME (5 ml) was added 2-(4-bromo-phenoxy)-ethanol (111 mg). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 h before 2-phenyl-ethanesulfonic acid (6-chloro-5-p-tolyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-amide (100 mg, Referential Example 1f) and K-tert.-butylate (25 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 16 h. A further portion of K-tert.-butylate (50 mg) was added and stirring was continued at 70° C. for 12 h and at rt for 72 h. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was treated with water (40 ml), acidified with 10% aq. citric acid and extracted twice with EA (50 ml). The organic phase was washed with water and evaporated. The crude product was crystallised from 2-propanol to give 2-phenyl-ethanesulfonic acid {6-[2-(4-bromo-phenoxy)-ethoxy]-5-p-tolyl-pyrimidin-4-yl}-amide (127 mg) as a beige powder. LC-MS: tR=6.14 min, [M+1]+=568.38, [M−1]−=570.15.
