Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-bromo-2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (0.23 g, 0.99 mmol), 2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-phenylamine (0.226 g, 1.19 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.185 g, 0.2 mmol), dicyclohexyl-(2′-4′-6′-triisopropyl-biphenyl-2-yl)-phosphane (0.19 g, 0.4 mmol), and sodium tert-butoxide (0.29 g, 3.0 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was degassed with nitrogen for 3 minutes, then heated at 100° C. for 2 hours under argon. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane, filtered through diatomaceous earth, and concentrated. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was triturated with ether and dichloromethane to give (2-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-8-yl)-(2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-amine (0.23 g, 68%). MP=144-146° C. MS=343 (MH)+.
