Procedure

EX-603A) To a toluene (15 mL) solution of 2-chloropyrimidine (1.00 g, 8.7 mmol) was added 3-formylphenylboronic acid (1.42 g, 9.5 mmol) and DMF (8 mL). To the resulting solution was added K2CO3 (2.63 g, 19.0 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.52 g, 0.45 mmol). The slurry was heated to reflux under argon for 18 h. The cooled mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to an oil. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane gave 0.63 g (39%) of the desired 3-(2-pyrimidinyl)benzaldehyde product as a brown oil which solidified upon standing. MS: m/z=185.1 [M+H]+, EX-603B) To a 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) solution of aldehyde (0.62 g, 3.4 mmol) from EX-603A was added 3-phenoxyaniline (0.62 g, 3.4 mmol), NaB(OAc)3H (0.93 g, 4.4 mmol) and acetic acid (0.20 mL, 3.4 mmol). The cloudy solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to yield 1.19 g (99%) of the desired N-(3-phenoxyphenyl)[[3-(2-pyrimidinyl)phenyl]methyl]amine product as a brown oil which was used without further purification. MS: m/z=354.2 [M+H]+.
