Reaction Steps

To the solution of 4-Tributylstannyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazole (106 mg, 0.18 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) added 3-(5-Fluoro-2-pyridyl)-5-(3-bromo-5-fluorophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (50.0 mg, 0.15 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphoshine)palladium (0) (17.1 mg, 0.01 mmol), sequentially. The resulting brownish yellow reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. under argon overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in-vacuo. The residue was purified on silica gel using 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes to isolate 3-(5-Fluoro-2-pyridyl)-5-(3-fluoro-5-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (20.0 mg).
