Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (176 mg, 0.539 mmol) was added to Pd(Ph3P)4 (20 mg, 0.018 mmol), 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-5-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (150 mg, 0.359 mmol), 3-formylphenylboronic acid (59 mg, 0.395 mmol). Dioxane (3 mL) and water (600 μL) was added at rt. The reaction was heated to 90° C. overnight. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with sat NaHCO3, and sat NaCl. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated and triturated with DCM to give the titled compound (55 mg, 41%). LC-MS retention time: 1.49 min; m/z (MH+): 374. LC data was recorded on a Shimadzu LC-10AS liquid chromatograph equipped with a Waters XBridge 5 u C18 4.6×50 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 5 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 1 min, and an analysis time of 3 min where solvent A was 5% acetonitrile/95% H2O/10 mM ammonium acetate and solvent B was 5% H2O/95% acetonitrile/10 mM ammonium acetate. MS data was determined using a Micromass Platform for LC in electrospray mode.
