Reaction Steps

To flask containing 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)-4-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]butanamide, which may be prepared as in Preparation 3, (100 mg, 0.208 mmol) was added [5-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-isoxazol-3-yl]-methanol (58.2 mg, 0.229 mmol), cesium fluoride (126 mg, 0.832 mmol), water (200 uL) and 1,4-dioxane (2 mL). To this mixture was added Palladium tetrakis (35.8 mg, 0.031 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 115° C. with stirring for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with aqueous HCl (0.1 N). The phases were separated and the crude organic extract was concentrated to dryness. The crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/heptanes to afford N-hydroxy-4-{4′-[3-hhydroxymethyl)isoxazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4-yl}-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)butanamide as a solid 21 mg.
