Reaction Steps

To a vial charged with 2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl boronic acid (Combi-Blocks, San Diego, Calif.) (0.268 g, 1.216 mmol), 3-(benzylthio)-8-chloro-1,7-naphthyridine (0.218 g, 0.760 mmol), and potassium phosphate tribasic (0.189 ml, 2.280 mmol) was added dioxane (3.05 ml) and water (1.016 ml). The mixture was purged with argon prior to the addition of 1,1-bis[(di-t-butyl-p-methylaminophenyl]palladium(II) chloride (0.054 g, 0.076 mmol). The vessel was sealed and heated to 60° C. overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was loaded directly onto a silica gel loading column and purified with a 40 g HP spherical column (silicycle) (SiliCycle, Inc. Quebec City, Canada) ramping EtOAc in heptane (0 to 35%, then isocratic at 35%) to provide 3-(benzylthio)-8-(2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1,7-naphthyridine (0.295 g, 0.692 mmol, 91% yield) as an off-white foam. m/z (ESI) 427.3 (M+H)+.
