Reaction Steps

A mixture of 12-chloro-4-iodo-9-oxa-3,6,13-triazatricyclo[8.4.0.02,6]tetradeca1 (14),2,4,10,12-pentaene (1.60 g, 4.60 mmol) and acetamidine hydrochloride (481 g, 5.06 mmol), Et3N (4.00 mL), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (Xantphos, 532 mg, 0.920 mmol), and Pd(OAc)2 (103 mg, 0.460 mmol) in DMF (20.0 mL) was heated under carbon monoxide atmosphere at 40° C. for 3 h. After cooling to room temperature, a solution of (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)hydrazine hydrochloride (800 mg, 5.32 mmol) in acetic acid (15.0 mL) was added. The resultant mixture was further heated at 65° C. for 3 h. After concentratin, the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated. The crude product was purified by reverse phase Combiflash eluting with a 0-40% gradient of CH3CN in 0.5% NH4HCO3 to give 12-chloro-4-[3-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]-9-oxa-3,6,13-triazatricyclo[8.4.0.02,6]tetradeca1(14),2,4,10,12-pentaene (1.35 mg, 76% yield) as pale yellow solid. LCMS (ESI) m/z: 385.1 [M+H+].
