Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-fluorophenylboronic acid (from step 2) (1.0 eq.) and 3-bromopicolino-nitrile (1.0 eq.) in toluene (0.44 M) was mixed with tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (5 mol %) and 2N aqueous potassium carbonate solution (2.0 eq.). The reaction was heated to 100° C. and stirred overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction content was diluted with 2% methanol in dichloromethane and water. The two phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with 2% methanol in dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated en vacuo. After workup, the crude product was suspended in hot toluene, centrifuged (2500 rpm, 5 min), and the supernatant was removed. The suspension, centrifugation, and removal of supernatant steps were repeated with hot ethyl acetate, ether, and hexane to give a pure solid. 1H NMR (acetone d-6): δ 9.04 (d, 1H), 8.96 (d, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 7.86-7.90 (dd, 1H), 7.28-7.34 (m, 2H), 6.9 (br, 2H). LRMS [M+H]=214.1
