Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-[[5-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]amino]-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate (0.10 g, 232.44 μmol), tert-butyl-dimethyl-(4-piperidyloxy)silane (55.08 mg, 255.68 mmol, see preparation 3) and Cs2CO3 (227.2 mg, 697.32 μmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2.5 ml) is added Pd2(dba)3 (21.28 mg, 23.24 μmol) followed by 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (S-Phos) (9.54 mg, 23.24 μmol). The reaction mixture is purged with nitrogen for 5 minutes and then heated at 120° C. After 8 hours, the reaction is cooled to ambient temperature, filtered through Celite™, and washed with EtOAc. The combined filtrates are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography (neutral alumina) using of 15%-85% ethyl acetate in hexanes as eluent to afford the title compound as a pale yellow oil (0.10 g, 80%). Mass spectrum (m/z): 565.4 (M+1).
