3R,3aR,6R,6aR)-6-((5-(4-bromophenyl)-6-chloro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)oxy)hexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-3-ol (25 mg, 0.055 mmol), 4-ethynylpiperidine (10.5 mg, 0.072 mmol), copper (I) iodide (2.1 mg, 0.011 mmol), chloro(tri-tert-butyl)-2-[-(2′amino-1,1′-biphenyl)]palladium (II) (5.7 mg, 0.011 mmol, prepared by a procedure analogous to procedures described in J. AM. CHEM. SOC. 2010, 132, 14073-14075), and cesium carbonate (54.0 mg, 0.166 mmol) were placed under nitrogen in dry, degassed toluene (138 μl) and dimethylacetamide (138 μl). The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. The resulting residue was diluted with dimethylformamide (0.7 mL), then filtered through a filter disc (0.45 micron). The material was purified by reverse phase HPLC purification using 0-100% acetonitrile in water over 10 minutes. The desired product fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as an off-white solid.
