Reaction Steps

Pd EnCat™ (133 mg, 0.04 mmol, 0.1 equiv), was added to a mixture of potassium carbonate (166 mg, 1.2 mmol, 3.0 equiv), [(E)-2-phenylvinyl]boronic acid (65 mg, 0.44 mmol, 1.1 equiv), and (2R)-4-(4-iodo-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-2-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)butanamide (200 mg, 0.40 mmol), which may be synthesized as described Preparation 2B, in 2:1 1,4-dioxane-water (3.6 mL). The reaction was heated to 80° C. and allowed to stir overnight. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL), filtered through a pad of Celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography ((1:1-0:1 heptane/ethyl acetate) to provide a white residue (90 mg, 47%). MS (LCMS) m/z 473.7 (M−1).
