Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-1-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (preparation 3c, 3.00 g, 8.32 mmol, based on 76% purity), 3-(difluoromethyl)-phenylboronic acid (2.30 g, 13 mmol), 1,1′-[bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]-dichloropalladium(II) (690 mg, 0.94 mmol) and 2 M aqueous K2CO3 solution (10 mL, 20 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL) is heated for 2 h at 75° C. The reaction mixture is diluted with methanol and purified by preparative reversed phase HPLC (XBridge, gradient of acetonitrile in water, 0.3% NH4OH, 30° C.). Yield: 1.46 g (55% of theory); ESI mass spectrum: [M+H]+=322; Retention time HPLC: 0.92 min (Z018_S04).
