3-Cyanobenzaldehyde (I) was converted to oxime (II) by reaction with hydroxylamine in pyridine. The intermediate nitrile oxide, generated from chlorination and further elimination of HCl, underwent a [2+3] cycloaddition with itaconic acid monomethyl ester (III) to produce the isoxazoline (IV). The carboxylate group of (IV) was then activated as the corresponding acid chloride (V) upon treatment with SOCl2. Boronic acid (VII) was prepared from N-tert-butyl benzenesulfonamide (VI) by lithiation with n-butyllithium, followed by reaction with triisopropyl borate and quenching with HCl. Subsequent Suzuki coupling of (VII) with 2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine (VIII) using Pd(PPh3)4 and Na2CO3 afforded the 2-amino-4-arylpyrimidine (IX). Condensation of amine (IX) with acid chloride (V) in the presence of Et3N gave amide (X). The N-tert-butyl group of (X) was then deprotected by means of trifluoroacetic acid to yield (XI) as the trifluoroacetate salt. The cyano group of (XI) was converted to imidate (XII) with HCl and MeOH. This was finally reacted with ammonium acetate in MeOH to furnish the title amidine.
