Reaction Steps

To a solution of A1 (1 eq) in a mixture of DMF and Et3N (1:1) was added 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzonitrile (2 eq), CuI (0.2 eq) and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.05 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with 0.1N HCl (2×) and then with brine; dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The resulting crude was purified by on silica gel eluting with EtOAc/petrol ether to obtain the desired compound.
