Reaction Steps
198 a) 8-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine was prepared from 8-bromo-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (1.0 g, 4.5 mmol) and 4-bromobenzeneboronic acid (1.0 g, 5.0 mmol) in a manner analogous to Example 2c. Product isolated as an off-white solid (1.0 g, 72%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 8.51 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.70 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 7.16 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H). MS=310, 312 (MH)+. 198 b) To an oven dried tube was added 8-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (0.90 g, 2.9 mmol), methylphosphinoylmethane (0.24 g, 3.1 mmol)(prepared as described in WO2005/009348), palladium acetate (13.5 mg, 0.0601 mmol), 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (36.0 mg, 0.0622 mmol), cesium carbonate (1422.0 mg, 4.3644 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (9 mL). The tube was evacuated, carefully, and backflushed with nitrogen. The tube was sealed and heated at 90° C. for 24 hours then cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (30 mL), filtered through a plug of diatomaceous earth and evaporated. The residue was purified via chromatography using an ISCO automated purification apparatus (silica gel column 40 g and 0%→7% dichloromethane:methanol). 2-Chloro-8-[4-(dimethyl-phosphinoyl)-phenyl]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine was isolated as a white solid (0.303 g, 34%). MP=220-223° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 8.55 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 2H), 7.94-7.86 (m, 2H), 7.77 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 1H), 1.80 (s, 3H), 1.77 (s, 3H). MS=306, 308 (MH)+. 198 c) {8-[4-(Dimethyl-phosphinoyl)-phenyl]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-yl}-[3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-amine was prepared from 2-chloro-8-[4-(dimethyl-phosphinoyl)-phenyl]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (100.0 mg, 0.3271 mmol) and 3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)aniline (70.0 mg, 0.366 mmol) with 2,2′-bis-dicyclohexylphosphanyl-biphenyl (28.0 mg, 0.0512 mmol) as the ligand in a manner analogous to Example 2d. Product isolated as a tan solid (0.097 g, 64%). MP=243-246° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 8.46 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.92-7.84 (m, 2H), 7.63-7.50 (m, 1H), 7.34 (s, 1H), 7.23 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.02-6.96 (m, 2H), 6.84 (s, 1H), 6.59 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 3.30-3.25 (m, 4H), 2.63-2.58 (m, 4H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 1.80 (s, 3H), 1.77 (s, 3H). MS=461 (MH)+.
