Reaction Steps

A mixture of {4-difluoromethoxy-2-ethyl-8-fluoro-3-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzyl]quinolin-5-yloxy}acetic acid methyl ester (0.10 g), 2-bromopyrimidine (0.076 g), [1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium (0.016 g), 1,4-dioxane (2.0 mL) and 2.0M aqueous cesium carbonate solution (0.38 mL) was heated by microwave irradiation at 90 to 130° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL) and 1.0M aqueous lithium hydroxide solution (0.38 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was acidified by the addition of 0.1M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by preparative reverse-phase HPLC gave title compound (0.021 g).
