Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-3′-fluoro-4-((2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy)-1,1′-biphenyl (1.56 g, 4.39 mmol), 2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-5-boronic acid [purchased from Frontier Scientific] (1.09 g, 5.709 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.91 g, 6.59 mmol) in dimethoxyethane (15 mL) and water (5 mL) was purged with nitrogen for 20 minutes. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (253.8 mg, 0.22 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture heated at 80° C. in a sealed vial for 2 days. The cooled reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (80 mL) and 1.0 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (80 mL), the organic phase separated, washed with water (80 mL) and saturated brine (80 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow syrup. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with a solvent gradient of 0 to 20% ethyl acetate (containing 2% methanol) in hexanes to give 5-(3′-fluoro-4-((2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (1.62 g, 88% yield) as a yellow syrup.
