Reaction Steps

Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid benzyl-[5-cyano-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-benzyl]-amide (1.33 g, 3.2 mmol), (5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1.02 g, 4.2 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.55 g, 11.2 mmol) were combined in DME (40 mL) and H2O (30 mL), and the solution was purged with N2 for 15 minutes. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.370 g, 0.35 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was diluted with H2O and 1N aqueous HCl (15 mL), and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were concentrated and purified by preparative HPLC to give (5-{2-[(benzyl-cyclopropanecarbonyl-amino)-methyl]-4-cyano-phenyl}-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester, as well as the some of the hydrolyzed ester product.
