Reaction Steps

5-(3-Bromo-4-fluoro-phenyl)-1-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-3-pentafluoroethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (250.0 mg, 0.53 mmol) prepared in Step 5 of Preparation 7, 4-methylsulfonylphenylboronic acid (116.0 mg, 0.58 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (61.0 mg, cat.) and a 2N sodium carbonate solution (3.5 mL) were added to a mixed solvent of ethanol (3.5 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (15.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 3 hours and then filtered through celite pad. A saturated solution of ammonium chloride was added to the filtrate, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined extract was washed with brine, dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow liquid residue. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=1/3) to give 150.0 mg of the titled compound as a yellow liquid.
