Reaction Steps

To (5-bromo-6-fluoro-pyridin-2-yl)-(5-fluoro-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (26, 2.90 g, 6.74 mmol) in 25.0 mL of tetrahydrofuran at −35° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen, isopropylmagnesium chloride (3.54 mL, 2.00 M in tetrahydrofuran, 7.08 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to come to 0° C. over an hour. The reaction was cooled to −45° C. and N,N-dimethylformamide (1.0 mL, 13.0 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature over 2 hours, then poured into aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated under vacuum. The resulting material was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane. Appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated under vacuum to provide the desired compound (27, 1.80 g).
