Reaction Steps

A 250 mL flask is charged with N-(5-(6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-2-yl)-2-ethylphenyl)pivalamide (2.45 g, 0.00686 mol), 3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (2.34 g, 0.00857 mol), K2CO3 (2.37 g, 0.0171 mol), palladium(II)acetate (0.154 g, 0.686 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (0.563 g, 0.00137 mol), isopropanol:water (150 mL, 3:1). The mixture is stirred and heated at 60° C. for 6 hr. The mixture is concentrated to dryness, crude product taken up in EtOAc (100 mL), washed with water (50 mL), organic collected and concentrated onto celite and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-75% EtOAc in CH2Cl2). Intermediate is taken up in EtOH (100 mL) and conc. HCl (90 mL) is added. The reaction mixture is heated to reflux for 18 hrs. Reaction is concentrated, taken up in EtOAc (100 mL), washed with 100 mL Sat. NaHCO3. Compound is concentrated onto celite and purified by silica gel chromatography (0-100% EtOAc in CH2Cl2) to give the title compound (1.98 g, 75% over two steps). LCMS m/z=384.4, 385.4 [M+H]+, tR=2.59 min.
