Participants

Reaction Steps

As described in Method B, N-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-6-mercapto-nicotinamide IIa (372 mg, 1.5 mmol) and 2-bromomethyl-5-trifluoromethoxy-phenylboronic acid (572 mg, 1.5 mmol) were suspended in DMF (15 ml). To the reaction flask DIPEA (261 μL, 1.5 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes. Reaction completion was monitored by LC-MS. Cold water (100 mL) was added and the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed several times with cold water to afford 724.8 mg (88% yield, >90% purity by LC-MS) of the off-white solid product, 6-(2-boronic pinacol ester-5-trifluoromethoxy-benzylsulfanyl)-N-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-nicotinamide. ESI-MS m/z=549.1 [M+H]+.
