Reaction Steps

To a vial, methyl 2-bromo-5-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylate (from Example 1 step 3, 104 mg, 0.309 mmol), (2,6-difluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)boronic acid (from Aldrich, 207 mg, 1.10 mmol), dicyclohexyl(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine-(2′-aminobiphenyl-2-yl)(chloro)palladium (1:1) (37.5 mg, 0.0477 mmol), and potassium phosphate (276 mg, 1.30 mmol) were added. The vial was sealed with a PTFE screw-cap then purged with nitrogen three times. 1,4-Dioxane (4.0 mL) was added, followed by deoxygenated water (2.0 mL). The mixture was heated at 40° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. Additional (2,6-difluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)boronic acid (262 mg, 1.39 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine-(2′-aminobiphenyl-2-yl)(chloro)palladium (1:1) (40.2 mg, 0.0511 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 h. The mixture was filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth (eluted with EtOAc) and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel (eluting with 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the sub-title compound as a white solid (48.5 mg, 39%). LCMS calc. for C17H19F2N2O5S (M+H)+: m/z 401.1. Found: 401.1.
