Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzeneboronic acid (a, 5 mmol), N-(5-bromo-pyrazin-2-yl)-2,6-difluoro-benzamide (b, 5 mmol), palladium catalyst (0.30 mmol), potassium carbonate (1 g) in dry 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 24 h. The mixture was taken up with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (100 mL), washed with water (2×100 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. The oil obtained on concentration was purified by flash chromatography followed by recrystallization to give Compound 1 as a yellowish solid (0.19 g).
