Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(3-bromo-5-chloro-4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)-4-methylpentanoate (0.5 g, 1.240 mmol) in a mixture of DMF (20 mL) and water (5 mL) were added Cs2CO3 (1.4 g, 4.342 mmol), Pd(TPP)4 (286 mg, 2.480 mmol) and 5-(4,4,5,5,-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (355 mg, 1.364 mmol) at RT under N2 atmosphere and the resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 14 h. After completion of starting material (by TLC), the solids were removed via filtration through a bed of Celite™ was washing with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (3×50 mL), brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography to afford ethyl 2-(3-(benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-5-yl)-5-chloro-4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)-4-methylpentanoate (250 mg) as an off white solid.
