Abstract

We accomplished divergent synthesis of potent kinase inhibitor BAY 61-3606 (1) and 27 derivatives via conjugation of imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine and indole ring compounds with aromatic (including pyridine) derivatives by means of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and germinal center kinase (Gck, MAP4K2) inhibition assays showed that some of the synthesized compounds were selective Gck inhibitors.
