Reaction Steps

Caesium carbonate (8.45 g, 26 mmol) was added to a mixture of 3-hydroxy-5-{[(1S)-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl]oxy}-N-(5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)benzamide (4 g, 13 mmol) and ethyl-4-fluorobenzoate (2.33 g, 13 mmol) in dimethylacetamide (70 mL) and the stirred mixture heated at 130° C. for 72 hours. The mixture was allowed to reach RT and ethyl acetate (100 mL) added. The mixture was washed with water (5×40 mL), brine (40 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and reduced in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica, eluting with a gradient of 50% ethyl acetate in isohexane, to give the desired compound (0.18 g)
