Procedure

To a solution of 2,5-dichloro-N-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]pyrimidin-4-amine (0.50 g, 1.7 mmol) (prepared according to Example 8, step A) and 2-(3-aminophenyl)ethanol (0.31 g, 2.3 mmol) (prepared according to Example 22, Step B) in 1,4-dioxane (14.3 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.12 g, 0.61 mmol). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 16 h and the reaction was complete. To the mixture was added NaHCO3 (saturated aqueous solution). The organic solvent was removed under vacuum and water/EtOAc was added. After layer separation, the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc twice. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated (then triturated with cold EtOAc) to give the desired product as a light brown powder (0.64 g, 96%). LCMS for C21H24ClN4O2 (M+H)+: m/z=399.1.
