Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-bromo-5-methyl-2-furancarboxylate (500 mg, 2.28 mmol), 1-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (950 mg, 4.57 mmol)[prepared according to Preparation 7] and potassium carbonate (315 mg, 2.28 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (8 mL) and water (2.0 mL) was added bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)Palladium (0) (117 mg, 0.23 mmol). The mixture was heated to 80° C. and after 15 h the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between DCM and water. The organic layer was concentrated and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (8.0 mL). The solution was treated with 6N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (3.80 mL, 22.83 mmol) and heated to 75° C. After 15 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated and partitioned between DCM and water. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH ˜3 with 2N HCl aqueous solution and extracted several times with DCM. The organic fractions were combined and concentrated to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (401 mg, 1.95 mmol, 85% yield): LC-MS (ES) m/z 207 (M+H)+.
