Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g of 4-[2-(5-cyano-2-methoxybenzenesulfonylamino)ethyl]-3-methoxymethoxyphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, 5.33 g of bis(pinacolato)diboron, 467 mg of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium(II) dichloride dichloromethane complex, 317 mg of 1,1′-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium(II), 5.61 g of potassium acetate, and 113 mL of 1,4-dioxane was stirred under an argon atmosphere at 80° C. for 15 hours. To the reaction mixture were added 4.02 g of 1-bromo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene, 467 mg of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium(II) dichloride dichloromethane complex, 12.14 g of potassium phosphinate, and 40 mL of 1,4-dioxane. The mixture was stirred under argon atmosphere at 80° C. for 24 hours, and ethyl acetate and water were added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on aminopropylated silica gel (eluent: ethyl acetate-hexane) to give 10.09 g of 5-cyano-2-methoxy-N-[2-(3′,4′,5′-trifluoro-3-methoxymethoxybiphenyl-4-yl)ethyl]benzenesulfonamide.
