Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4′-hydroxy-3′-iodobiphenyl-3-carbonitrile (Preparation 120, 715 mg, 2.23 mmol), 4-(tributylstannyl)pyridazine (904 mg, 2.45 mmol) and cesium fluoride (677 mg, 4.46 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was degassed under nitrogen. Then tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium (0) (258 mg, 0.22 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (85 mg, 0.45 mmol) were added, the reaction mixture was further degassed and then heated at 60° C. for 4 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was quenched with 10% ammonia (0.88M) in water (10 mL), diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and then the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. The resulting mixture was further diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10% dichloromethane in ethyl acetate to give the title compound (355 mg, 55%).
