Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methyl-6-(methylsulfonamido)benzofuran-3-carboxamide (1.0 g, 2.49 mmol), methyl 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoate (0.99 g, 4.97 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.03 g, 7.45 mmol) in HMPA (6.2 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 3 days. The solution was diluted with EtOAc and water and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, evaporated and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-80% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the title compound (1.33 g, 92%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 7.99 (d, J=9.09 Hz, 1H), 7.85-7.92 (m, 2H), 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.53 (s, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=9.09, 2.64 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=2.64 Hz, 1H), 7.19-7.26 (m, 2H), 5.80 (d, J=4.59 Hz, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.34 (s, 3H), 3.02 (d, J=4.98 Hz, 3H), 1.91 (tt, J=8.37, 5.31 Hz, 1H), 1.01 (br. s., 1H), 0.89 (br. s., 1H), 0.73-0.85 (m, 1H), 0.58 (br. s., 1H).
