Reaction Steps

The boronic acid (231 mg, 1.5 mmol), prepared in example 210A, 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4-chloro-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone (500 mg, 1.36 mmol), tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0) (47 mg, 0.041 mmol), and CsF (413 mg, 2.72 mmol) were stirred at reflux in DME (20 mL) under N2 for 5 hours. TLC (1:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) indicated that all the starting material was consumed. Volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. An off white powder was obtained (yield: 275 mg, 46%). mp 88-91° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, a mixture of rotamers) δ 2.2, 2.25 (2d, J=1.5 Hz, 3H) 3.05, 3.09 (2 s, 3H) 4.78-4.92 (m, 2H) 6.61-6.8 (m, 1H) 6.82-6.98 (m, 1H) 7.35 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H) 7.78 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H) 7.86-8.09 (m, 4H).
