5'-Bromo-2',6-difluorobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile → 6,2'-Difluoro-5'-(8-fluoro-7-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridin-3-yl)-biphenyl-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Fluoro-7-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-α]pyridine (102 mg, 0.5 mmol) and 5′-bromo-6,2′-difluorobiphenyl-2-carbonitrile (221 mg, 0.75 mmol) were coupled following the procedure given in Example 6 to afford 6,2′-difluoro-5′-(8-fluoro-7-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-α]pyridin-3-yl)-biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (65 mg, 31%) as a white solid: δH (360 MHz, CDCl3) 6.99 (1H, dd, J 7 and 6), 7.41-7.51 (2H, m), 7.54-7.60 (1H, m), 7.62-7.69 (3H, m), 7.87 (1H, s), 8.33 (1H, d, J 7); m/z (ES+) 418 (100%, [MH]+).
