Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-bromo-pyridin-4-yloxy)-N-(2-fluoro-5-methyl-phenyl)-benzamide (200 mg, 0.50 mmol), methyl-(5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (251 mg, 1.0 mmol) and PdCl2(dppf).CH2Cl2 (10 mg, 0.012 mmol) was added to a thick-walled reaction vessel and purged with N2. A solution of 2M Na2CO3 (0.5 mL) was added, followed by DMSO (8 mL). The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture stirred at 95° C. for 16 h. The reaction vessel was cooled to room temperature and the mixture was poured into 100 ml of water. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried to give the crude, which was purified via column chromatography eluting with 30-40% EtOAc/hexanes to afford 5-{4-[3-(2-Fluoro-5-methyl-phenylcarbamoyl)-phenoxy]-pyridin-2-yl}-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (150 mg, 58% yield).
