Reaction Steps

A mixture 4,5-dibromo-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-((2-trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl-1H-imidazole (730 mg, 1.5 mmol) and 3-methoxy-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine (400 mg, 1.6 mmol; Example 17, Step 3), and 2.0 M aqueous Na2CO3 solution (3 mL, 6.0 mmol) in DME (10 mL) was purged with Ar for 3 min. Pd(PPh3)4 (65 mg, 0.055 mmol) was added the reaction was heated to 100° C. by for 20 h. The reaction was allowed to cool to rt and phases partitioned. The organic portion was separated and concentrated. The resulting residue crude was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2; 80:20-0:100 hexanes-EtOAc) to furnish 640 mg (1.2 mmol, 80%) of 5-(5-bromo-2-(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-3-methoxypyridin-2-amine: LCMS (m/z): 545.0 (MH+), tR=1.02 min.
