Reaction Steps

N-(2,2-Difluoroethyl)-6,7-difluoro-5-formylbenzo[d]isoxazole-3-carboxamide (Intermediate 243, 2.86 g, 9.86 mmol) was dissolved in butyronitrile (50 mL) and water (2.5 mL). Potassium carbonate (1.362 g, 9.86 mmol) and (2R,6R)-2,6-dimethylmorpholine (1.481 mL, 11.83 mmol) were added and the reaction was stirred at 90° C. for 4 hours. The crude reaction mixture was diluted with water, brine and ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed 2× with brine. The aqueous layer was back-extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in DCM and purified by silica gel column chromatography using a gradient of DCM to ethyl acetate. Fractions were combined and concentrated to give the title compound.
