Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 1-(5,7-dibromo-benzothiazol-2-yl-3-ethyl urea (300 mg, 0.79 mmol), sodium carbonate (167 mg, 1.58 mmol), (1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)dichloro-palladium(II) (45 mg, 0.05 mmol), 3-methoxy-5-pyridineboronic acid pinacol ester (186 mg, 0.79 mmol) in dimethyl formamide (8 ml) and water (2 ml), was purged with nitrogen for 5 min and heated at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 0 to 5% methanol in ethyl acetate to give 1-[7-Bromo-5-(5-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-benzothiazol-2-yl]-3-ethyl-urea 1 as a white solid (49 mg, 15%).
