Triethylamine → 2-[4-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene-9-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9-bromo-2-[4-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene (250 mg) in methanol (0.50 mL) was added palladium acetate (6 mg), XANTPHOS (31 mg) and triethylamine (2 mL) and the reaction heated at 70° C. under a balloon of carbon monoxide for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through Celite, washing with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was reduced in vacuo and redissolved in THF (8 mL) and ethanol (4 mL). Sodium hydroxide solution (43 mg in 4 mL of water) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was then acidified with 2 M hydrochloric acid and the resulting solid was filtered and air-dried to give 2-[4-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-4H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-4,5-dihydro-6-oxa-3-thia-1-aza-benzo[e]azulene-9-carboxylic acid.
