Reaction Steps

To stirred solution of (4S,5R)-4-Fluoromethyl-2,2-dimethyl-5-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.75 g, 1.72 mmol) in dimethoxyethane:water (8:2, 10 mL) is added Cs2CO3 (1.12 g, 3.44 mmol) and 5-Bromo-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (0.347 g, 1.89 mmol). Reaction mixture is degassed with nitrogen for 30 minutes, followed by addition of Pd(PPh3)4 (0.199 g, 0.172 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture heated to 90° C. for 3 hours. Diluted with water (20 mL) and ethyl acetate (40 mL). The organic layer is separated, dried over sodium sulphate and solvent is evaporated in vacuo to get crude material purified by column chromatography eluting in 15% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford title compound (0.3 g). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ: 1.43 (s, 9H), 1.51 (s, 3H), 1.63 (s, 3H), 3.83-3.90 (m, 1H), 4.47-4.58 (m, 2H), 4.75-4.93 (m, 2H), 5.15 (d, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 7.64 (d, 2H, J=8.28 Hz), 7.87 (d, 2H, J=8.24 Hz), 8.15 (d, 1H, J=8.16 Hz), 8.36 (dd, 1H, J=8.2 Hz, J=2.2 Hz), 9.12 (d, 1H, J=2.24 Hz), LC-MS (m/z): [M+H]=412.1.
