Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-cyano-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinan-2-yl)-N-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylbenzenesulfonamide (Preparation 29, 45.5 mg, 0.086 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added a 2 M aqueous solution of potassium carbonate (116 μL, 3.03 mmol) and 2-methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (21 mg, 0.08 mmol). The solution was sparged with nitrogen before the addition of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (9.2 mg, 0.0008 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and partitioned between 1N aqueous citric acid solution (2 mL) and ethyl acetate (10 mL). The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (2 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. The material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ISCO™ companion, 12 g column, 0-50% ethyl acetate in heptane gradient elution). Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the title compound as a yellow oil, which was used without further purification.
