Reaction Steps

Into a flame-dried reaction vessel under argon was placed 4-(8-bromo-2-((2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-7-yl)benzonitrile (49 mg, 0.1 mmol), 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid (46 mg, 0.3 mmol), K3PO4 (64 mg, 0.3 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2.CH2Cl2 (17 mg, 0.02 mmol) and anhydrous THF (1.5 mL). The suspension was degassed with argon bubbling, and the reaction vessel was sealed and stirred at 90° C. for 16 h. Analysis by HPLC/MS indicated the reaction was complete. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The EtOAc layer was washed with water, then saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified using a silica gel cartridge (12 g) eluted with a gradient of EtOAc (0-70%) in hexanes to afford the desired product (90% pure). The product was further purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC (Phenomenex Luna 5 μm C-18 21.2×100 mm column eluted with a linear gradient of 70% to 100% B over 10 min (A=90% water, 10% methanol and B=90% methanol, 10% water) with flow rate at 20 mL/min and UV detection at 220 nm). The desired fractions were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was dissolved in acetonitrile, frozen and lyophilized to afford 18 mg of the title compound as a light yellow powder. HPLC/MS: retention time=3.71 min, [M+H]+=516.8.
