Reaction Steps

2-[(E)-2-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)vinyl]-5-[(3-bromophenyl)sulfonyl]pyridine (Example 27, 340 mg, 0.779 mmol) and zinc cyanide (110 mg, 0.93 mmol) were combined in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) and degassed. Tetrakis-(triphenyl phosphine)palladium(0) (68 mg, 0.059 mmol) was added and the reaction heated at 100° C. under nitrogen for 6 hours. Further tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (60 mg) was added and heating continued for 18 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by mass-triggered preparative HPLC (Nebula) to give the title compound as a beige solid (56 mg, 19%). This was purified further by recrystallisation from isopropyl alcohol/dichloromethane. δH (500 MHz, d6 DMSO): 9.16 (1H, s), 8.57 (1H, s), 8.40 (1H, dd, J=2.2, 8.4 Hz), 8.33 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 8.18 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.96–7.82 (3H, m), 7.76 (1H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.46 (1H, d, J=16.1 Hz), 7.36–7.31 (1H, m), 7.20–7.16 (1H, m); m/z (ES+) 383 [MH+].
