Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 2-chloropyrimidin-5-amine (1.7 g, 13.18 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (3.8 g, 20.00 mmol, 1.50 equiv), Pd(OAc)2 (0.15 g, 0.05 equiv), dppf (0.37 g, 0.05 equiv) and potassium carbonate (3.6 g, 26.09 mmol, 2.00 equiv) and the mixture was stirred overnight at 100° C. in an oil bath. The reaction was diluted with 300 mL of ethyl acetate and the solids were filtered out. The filtrate was washed with water and the organic layer dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column and eluted with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:15) to afford 1.2 g (38%) of 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrimidin-5-amine as a white solid.
