(4S,5R)-5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-{[5-bromo-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]methyl}-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one (400 mg, 0.754 mmol), bis(hexyleneglycolato)diboron (249 mg, 0.981 mmol), tricyclohexylphosphine (85 mg, 0.302 mmol), potassium acetate (163 mg, 1.659 mmol), 1,1bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene palladium dichloride (51.3 mg, 0.075 mmol) and THF (10 mL) were sealed in a microwave vessel and subject to microwave irradiation at 140° C. for 60 min. LCMS indicated complete consumption of starting material and formation of the desired product. The resulting crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, Biotage SNAP Cartridge, silica gel, KP-Sil, 50 g cartridge). The column was eluted by an EtOAc/hexanes mixture (0% to 40%). Related fractions were evaporated into a brown solid foam as the titled compound. LCMS calc.=495.09. found=495.91 (M+H)+.
