Synthetic Route of 349-65-5, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 349-65-5 as follows.

To a stirring solution of phosgene (1.9 M in toluene; 2.07 mL 0.21 g, 1.30 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) at 0 C. was added anh pyridine (0.32 mL) followed by 2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (0.75 g). The yellow solution was allowed to warm to room temp during which a precipitate formed. The yellow mixture was stirred for 1 h, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solids were treated with anh toluene (20 mL) followed by 4-(2-(N-methylcarbamoyl)-4-pyridyloxy)aniline (prepared as described in Method A2; 0.30 g) and the resulting suspension was heated at 80 C. for 20 h, then allowed to cool to room temp. The resulting mixture was diluted with water (100 mL), then was made basic with a saturated NaHCO3 solution (2-3 mL). The basic solution was extracted with EtOAc (2×250 mL). The organic layers were separately washed with a saturated NaCl solution, combined, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting pink-brown residue was dissolved in MeOH and absorbed onto SiO2 (100 g). Column chromatography (300 g SiO2; gradient from 1% Et3N/33% EtOAc/66% hexane to 1% Et3N/99% EtOAc to 1% Et3N/20% MeOH/79% EtOAc) followed by concentration under reduced pressure at 45 C. gave a warm concentrated EtOAc solution, which was treated with hexane (10 mL) to slowly form crystals of N-(2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N’-(4-(2-(N-methylcarbamoyl)-4-pyridyloxy)phenyl) urea (0.44 g): TLC (1% Et3N/99% EtOAc) Rf 0.40.
