Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2,6-difluoro-N-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-benzamide (359 mg, 1 mmol), 3-bromo-4-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (228 mg, 1 mmol), benzyl(chloro)bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (38 mg, 0.05 mmol) and K2CO3 (690 mg, 5 mmol) in 1-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) (5 ml) was degassed with vacuum and heated at 120° C. for 10 hr. After cooling down to room temperature, ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (200 ml) was added and the mixture was washed with water (60 ml×3). The EtOAc was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Hexanes:EtOAc) to give Compound 1 (286 mg, yield 75%).
