Reaction Steps

5-[2-(4-Bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-propyl]-3-methyl-3H-benzooxazol-2-one (130 mg, obtained in Example 116, step 8), bis-(pinacolato)-diboron (78 mg), potassium acetate (82 mg) and bis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II)-dichloride (6 mg) was dissolved in dioxane (6 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and water (1 mL), methyl-6-chloronicotinate (96 mg, [CAS Reg. No. 73781-91-6]), dichloro(1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)palladium (II) dichloromethane adduct (20 mg) and 2.0 M aqueous Na2CO3 (0.21 mL) were added and the mixture was heated to 65° C. over night. The reaction mixture was cooled, poured into ice/water and extracted two times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, gradient of heptane in ethyl acetate) to give the title compound as a colorless foam (35 mg, 24%). MS (m/e)=521.3 [M+H+].
