Reaction Steps

Degas a stirred mixture of 6-(4-bromo-3-fluorobenzylthio)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (212 mg, 0.424 mmol), 5-fluoro-2-methoxybenzene boronic acid (108 mg, 0.636 mmol), potassium carbonate (292 mg, 2.12 mmol), triphenylphosphine (11 mg, 0.0424 mmol) and bis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II) chloride (15 mg, 0.0212 mmol) in dioxane (3 mL) and water (1 mL). Purge with dry nitrogen and heat at 100° C. for 5 h. Cool to ambient temperature, add water, extract three times with EtOAc, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc (9:1) to give 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-chloro-6-(2,5′-difluoro-2′-methoxy-biphenyl-4-ylmethylthio)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as yellow oil (216 mg, 93%). Use a method similar to the General Procedure 1-4 to give the title compound as a yellow foam. MS (ES+) m/z: 446 (M+H)+.
