Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 3-bromo-5-[(5S)-5-pyridin-2-yl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl]benzoate (19.95 g, 49.5 mmol) and bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.76 g, 1.48 mmol) in dioxane (247 mL) was added 5-methyl-2-pyridylzinc bromide (0.5 M in THF; 198 mL, 99 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 75° C. After 1 h, the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature. Aqueous ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tripotassium salt (0.4 M, 200 mL) and dichloromethane (200 mL) were added. The mixture was stirred for 15 min and the organic solvent was evaporated. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (100% ethyl acetate 98% ethyl acetate/methanol) gave the title compound (18.6 g). MS 416.1 (M+1).
