Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-Cyano-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-[2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-N-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylbenzenesulfonamide (Preparation 429, 33.07 g, 47.08 mmol) in dimethylformamide (140 mL) was treated with copper (I) iodide (1830 mg, 9.60 mmol) and cesium fluoride (14.4 g, 94.2 mmol). The mixture was sparged with nitrogen for 15 minutes. Then 4-(tributylstannyl)pyridazine (19.1 g, 51.8 mmol) dissolved in dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added and the reaction heated to 30° C. The reaction was cooled, poured onto water (1 L) and extracted with diethylether (4×450 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water (6×500 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to furnish an orange foam. This residue was purified using column chromatography (using a gradient of 100% heptane with 2% triethylamine to 40:60 ethylacetate:heptane with 2% triethylamine) to furnish the title compound as an off-white solid.
