Reaction Steps

A degassed solution of Example A1 (2.0 g, 7.95 mmol) in dioxane (30 mL) added treated with acetamide (1.878 g, 31.8 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.59 g, 7.95 mmol), X-Phos (0.189 g, 0.397 mmol), and Pd2(dba)3 (0.364 g, 0.397 mmol) and heated at 80° C. for 16 h. The mixture was cooled to RT, treated with EtOAc, the solids removed via filtration through diatomaceous earth and rinsed well with EtOAc. The filtrate was washed with water, then brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated to dryness and purified via silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/Hex) to afford N-(4-((6-nitropyridin-3-yl)oxy)pyridin-2-yl)acetamide (1.48 g, 68%). MS (ESI) m/z: 275.1 (M+H+).
