Reaction Steps

1-(5-(benzyloxy)-7-bromobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-ethylurea (5.00 g, 12.29 mmol), zinc cyanide (1.58 g, 13.49 mmol), 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (20 mg, 0.033 mmol), zinc acetate (90 mg, 0.50 mmol) and zinc dust (33.3 mg, 0.50 mmol) were stirred in a reaction tube in degassed DMF (60 ml) and water (600 ul). Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (113.2 mg, 0.133 mmol) was added and the reaction purged with N2, sealed and heated to 100° C. for 18 h with stirring. LCMS indicated clean conversion to the desired material. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure, the resulting residue triturated with water, the solid collected by filtration and dried in a vacuum oven to afford the desired material as a pale white solid 4.4 g (100%). This material was used directly in the next step with no further purification.
