Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(3-bromo-5-fluoro-phenyl)-4,4-dicyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-benzo-[d][1,3]oxazin-2-one (0.4 g, 1.0 mmol), Zn(CN)2 (0.71 g, 0.61 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) (0.07 g, 0.06 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was subject to a blanket of nitrogen for 15 minutes at 50° C. and then was heated at 85° C. for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into NH4Cl (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The clear oil obtained was triturated with ether (30 ml) to give a white solid. Recrystallization of the solid from ethyl acetate gave 3-(4,4-dicyclopropyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-5-fluoro-benzonitrile (0.016 g, 4.6%): mp 250-252° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ10.3 (s, 1H), 8.12 (s, 1H), 7.97 (d, 1H, J=10.54 Hz), 7.81-7.79 (m, 2H), 7.73 (dd, 1H, J=8.3, 1.59 Hz), 6.94 (d, 1H, J =8.34 Hz), 1.59 (m, 2H), 0.58-0.42 (m, 6H), 0.30-0.28 (m, 2H); MS (ESI) m/z 347 ([M−H]−, 100%); Anal. Calc. For C21H17FN2O2: C, 72.4, H, 4.92, N, 8.04 Found: C, 72.4, H, 4.74, N, 7.61
