Reaction Steps

3-[(7-Bromo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-4-fluoro-benzoic acid methyl ester (step 1) (1200 g, 3.060 mol), 1-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (commercially available) (764 g, 3.67 mol), PdCl2(dppf)•CH2Cl2 (75.0 g, 91.8 mmol) in dioxane (10 L) and aqueous Na2CO3 (2 N, 4.6 L) were heated to reflux for 6 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to 50° C. and filtered. The filtrate was heated to reflux, to which was added AcOH (600 g, 10.0 mol) was added dropwise. During the course of addition solids came out of solution to give pale pink slurry. After addition the mixture was slowly cooled to RT and filtered. To the filter cake was added dioxane (20 L) followed by heating to reflux to obtain a solution. The solution was cooled to RT and filtered to provide the title compound as a white solid;
