Reaction Steps

In a 50 mL 3-neck flask with a magnetic stir bar and condenser was placed (R)-4-((R)-1-((6-bromo-3-cyclopropyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-yl)oxy)ethyl)pyrrolidin-2-on (125 mg, 0.34 mmol), 2-(4-(2,2-difluoroethoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (135 mg, 0.43 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (40 mg, 0.027 mmol). Evacuated and filled with nitrogen 3×. Added 2.5 mL DME and 2N sodium carbonate (0.51 ml, 1.03 mmol) via syringe and heated in a 105° C. oil bath for 2 hrs at which time LC-MS indicated a complete reaction. Let cool, added EtOAc and water, separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Purified by chromatography: ISCO 50 g C18 reverse phase 0-30% water/acetonitrile/0.1% TFA. Partially concentrated under reduced pressure added EtOAc and sat.aq.bicarb, separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give a white solid.
