Reaction Steps

To a stirring, degassed mixture of 7-bromo-8-iodo-2-isobutyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one (50 mg, 0.13 mmol), 4-cyanophenylboronic acid (40 mg, 0.28 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (7 mg, 0.006 mmol) in dioxane (1.0 mL) at 20° C. was added K2CO3 (40 mg, 0.25 mmol) in water (0.3 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 200° C. for 10 min under argon. Analysis by HPLC/MS indicated that starting material had been consumed. The reaction mixture was brought to room temperature and was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC (acetonitrile-water-TFA) to isolate the title compound (15 mg, 0.038 mmol) as a yellow solid. MS: [M+H]+=394.
