Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[3-chloro-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-6-iodo-8-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (i.e. the benzoxazinone product of Step E) (600 mg, 1.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) was added copper(I) iodide (137 mg, 0.72 mmol), tetrakis(triphenyphosphine)palladium(0) (416 mg, 0.36 mmol) and copper(I) cyanide (860 mg, 9.6 mmol) sequentially at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then heated at reflux overnight. The reaction turned black in color, at which point thin layer chromatography on silica gel confirmed completion of the reaction. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and filtered through Celite®, followed by washing three times with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and once with brine. The organic extract was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 397 mg of the title compound as a crude yellow solid.
