Reaction Steps

A glass microwave reaction vessel was charged with 1-(3-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone (86 mg, 0.41 mmol), (1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)methanone (197 mg, 0.826 mmol), cesium carbonate (309 mg, 0.95 mmol), copper(i) iodide (79 mg, 0.413 mmol), and NMP (1.4 mL). The reaction mixture was degassed and flushed with N2 and heated in a Emrys Optmizer microwave reactor (Personal Chemistry, Biotage AB, Inc., Upssala, Sweden) at 200° C. for 1 h. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and 1 N NH4Cl. The aqeuous layer was back extracted with EtOAc (2×) and the combined organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude material was chromatographed through a Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), eluting with a gradient of 0% to 100% EtOAc in hexane, then 5% MeOH in EtOAc, followed by trituration with ether, dried to provide 1-(3-(2-(4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-carbonyl)phenoxy)pyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone as off-white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 427.1 (M+1). IC50 (uM) +++++.
