Reaction Steps

To a solution of [(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)methyl]amine hydrochloride (1.68 g, 7 mmol) in dioxane/H2O (10 mL/3.3 mL) was added {3-[((3S)-4-{[(1,1-dimethylethyl)oxy]carbonyl}-3-methyl-1-piperazinyl)methyl]phenyl}boronic acid (2.33 g, 7 mmol), K2CO3 (4.83, 35 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (405 mg, 0.35 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 150° C. in a pressure vessel for 2 hours, then cooled to rt and diluted with EtOAc (50 mL). The organic layer was collected and the aqueous layer was extracted by EtOAc (30 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by Gilson preparatory HPLC, eluting with acetonitrile/water/0.1% TFA (10/90 to 90/10, v/v, over 12 min), to give the title compound (1.08 g, 37%). LC/MS: m/z, 414 (M+H), 1.83 min.
