Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-6-chloro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide (3.0 g, 7.8 mmol), 5-borono-2-fluorobenzoic acid (1.58 g, 8.60 mmol), Pd(Ph3P)4 (0.90 g, 0.78 mmol) and cesium carbonate (3.82 g, 11.7 mmol) was evacuated and charged with N2 (3×) and then diluted with water (0.95 ml)/DMF (9.5 ml). The mixture was again evacuated and charged with N2 (3×) and heated to 65° C. under N2 atmosphere. The reaction was allowed to stir at 65° C. for 16 h. LCMS showed peak with the expected M+H. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (30 mL) and washed with 1M HCl, and sat aq NaCl. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give solid which was triturated with DCM to give the expected product 5-(6-chloro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)furo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)-2-fluorobenzoic acid (2.4 g, 5.4 mmol, 69% yield) consistent by LCMS and NMR. LC-MS retention time: 2.64 min; m/z (MH+): 443. LC data was recorded on a Shimadzu LC-10AS liquid chromatograph equipped with a Phenomenex-Luna 3u C18 2.0×30 mm column using a SPD-10AV UV-Vis detector at a detector wave length of 220 nM. The elution conditions employed a flow rate of 1 mL/min, a gradient of 100% solvent A/0% solvent B to 0% solvent A/100% solvent B, a gradient time of 2 min, a hold time of 2 min, and an analysis time of 4 min where solvent A was 5% MeOH/95% H2O/10 mM ammonium acetate and solvent B was 5% H2O/95% MeOH/10 mM ammonium acetate. MS data was determined using a Micromass Platform for LC in electrospray mode. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.46 (br. s, 1H), 8.55 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 8.21 (s, 1H), 8.10-8.04 (m, 2H), 8.00 (dd, J=7.0, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.82 (ddd, J=8.5, 4.5, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.52-7.39 (m, 3H), 2.82 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 3H).
