Reaction Steps

N-Cyclopropyl-5-fluoro-4-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-benzamide (Intermediate 4, 3.2 g), methyl 6-chloronicotinate (1.73 g), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (210 mg) and aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (1M, 30 ml) were mixed in propan-2-ol (100 ml) and heated at 90° C. for 18 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool and the propan-2-ol removed under vacuum. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (1M). The aqueous phase was acidified with hydrochloric acid (2N) and extracted with ethyl acetate (×2). The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (magnesium sulphate) and reduced to dryness under vacuum. The resulting foam was triturated with ether to give 6-{5-[(cyclopropylamino)carbonyl]-3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl}nicotinic acid as a solid. LCMS: MH+315, retention time 2.87 mins.
