Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (preparation 5a, 12.05 g, 51.9 mmol), 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (13.6 g, 71.6 mmol), 1,1′-[bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (3.60 g, 4.92 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) is added 2 M aqueous K2CO3 solution (47 mL, 94 mmol). After stirring for 6 h at 75° C., the reaction mixture is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is dissolved in dichloromethane and extracted several times with water. The combined aqueous layer is acidified with 4 N aqueous HCl. The formed precipitate is filtered off, washed with 50 mL hexanes/ethyl acetate (4:1) and dried. Yield: 13.5 g (88% of theory); ESI mass spectrum: [M+H]+=298; Retention time HPLC: 0.80 min (Z003—001).
