Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(3,5-Dichloro-4-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)phenyl)-N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamide (compound G, 60 mg, 0.12 mmol), 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (50 mg, 0.24 mmol), Cu(OAc)2 (44 mg, 0.24 mmol) and 3 Å powdered molecular sieves (70 mg) were stirred in an open tube in dichloromethane (3 mL). Pyridine (57 mg, 0.72 mmol) was added and the dark green suspension stirred vigorously at room temperature in an open tube for 1 d. The molecular sieves were filtered, washed with dichloromethane and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (3 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.3 mL) was added. The dark solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 h, then methanol (1 mL) was added and the solution concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC providing the title compound (46 mg, 0.085 mmol, 71%). 1H NMR δ (ppm) (DMSO-d6): 4.53 (2H, d, J=6.20 Hz), 7.06-7.13 (2H, m), 7.36-7.48 (4H, m), 7.53-7.60 (1H, m), 8.01 (2H, s), 10.03 (1H, t, J=6.20 Hz), 11.20 (1H, s). LCMS (10 cm_esci_Bicarb_MeCN) tR 3.48 min; m/z 540/542/544 [M−H]−.
