Reaction Steps

A solution of Example A3 (0.500 g, 1.882 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was sparged with Ar, treated with N,N-dimethylurea (0.829 g, 9.41 mmol), XANTPHOS (218 mg, 0.376 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (1.226 g, 3.76 mmol), sparged with Ar, treated with Pd2(dba)3 (0.172 g, 0.188 mmol), sparged again with Ar and heated at 100° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to RT and diluted with EtOAc. The solids were removed via filtration through diatomaceous earth and washed with EtOAc. The filtrates were concentrated to dryness and purified via silica gel chromatography (MeOH/EtOAc) to afford 1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-((2-methyl-6-nitropyridin-3-yl)oxy)pyridin-2-yl)urea (511 mg, 86%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.05 (s, 1H), 8.25-8.19 (m, 2H), 7.82 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (dd, J=5.7, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 2.89 (s, 6H), 2.73 (s, 3H); MS (ESI) m/z: 318.1 (M+H+).
