Procedure

4-Fluorophenylacetylchloride (Aldrich, 0.017 mL, 0.126 mmol, 2.5 eq) was added to a solution of sodium thiocyanate (0.014 g, 0.176 mmol, 3.5 eq) in ethyl acetate (1.0 mL) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 h to afford a 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethanoyl isothiocyanate solution (0.126 M). 4-(4-Amino-2-fluorophenoxy)pyridin-2-amine (Compound B of Example 24, 0.011 g, 0.050 mmol, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethanoyl isothiocyanate (0.126 M, 0.50 mL, 0.063 mmol, 1.3 eq) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (Merck, 40-63 μM, 230-240 mesh, eluting 0-6% MeOH in CHCl3) to afford the title compound (0.008 g, 38%) as a solid. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 7.85-7.95 (m, 1H), 7.67-7.69 (m, 1H), 7.13-7.28 (m, 4H), 6.95-7.00 (m, 2H), 6.05-6.15 (m, 1H), 5.90-5.91 (m, 1H), 3.65 (s, 2H); MS (ESI+) m/z 415 (M+H)+; HRMS (ESI+) calculated: 415.1040. found: 415.1041.
