Reaction Steps
A solution of 8-bromo-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (0.47 g, 2.00 mmol) in dioxane (6.0 mL) was added tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.256 g, 0.28 mmol), 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (0.324 g, 0.56 mmol), N,N-disopropylethylamine (0.52 g, 4.00 mmol), and acetamidothiophenol (0.37 g, 2.20 mmol) under nitrogen. The mixture was degassed with nitrogen for 3 minutes, and then heated to 100° C. for 14 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, filtered through diatomaceous earth, washed with dichloromethane, and concentrated. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel hexane to 5% methanol in dichloromethane) to give N-[4-(2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl]acetamide (0.51 g, 80%). MP=148-150° C. MS=319 (MH)+. 281b) 4-{4-[8-(4-Acetylamino-phenylsulfanyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-2-ylamino]-phenyl}-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester was prepared from N-[4-(2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl]acetamide and 4-(4-amino-phenyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester with 2,2′-bis-dicyclohexylphosphanyl-biphenyl as the ligand in a manner analogous to Example 2d (0.023 g, 10%). MP=226-228° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, (D3C)2SO, δ, ppm): 10.2 (s, 1H), 9.69 (s, 1H), 8.62 (d, 1H), 7.72 (m, 2H), 7.55 (m, 2H), 7.49 (m, 2H), 7.12 (m, 2H), 6.91 (m, 1H), 4.18 (bs, 2H), 2.78 (bs, 2H), 2.58 (m, 1H), 2.04 (s, 3H), 1.66 (m, 2H), 1.51 (m, 2H), 1.42 (s, 9H). MS=559 (MH)+.
