Reaction Steps

(+/−) Tert-butyl (3-bromo-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)carbamate (1.52 g, 4.58 mmol), a 3:1 mixture of methyl 1-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine-2-carboxylate (0.688 g, 3.44 mmol) and methyl 1-methylpiperazine-2-carboxylate (0.181 g, 1.144 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.420 g, 0.458 mmol), BINAP (0.285 g, 0.458 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.240 g, 6.88 mmol), and Toluene (40 mL) were combined in a round bottom flask. The flask was evacuated and backfilled with N2 3×, and the reaction was heated at 105° C. for 18 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and an additional 0.05 eq. each of catalyst and ligand were added. The reaction vial was resealed, evacuated and backfilled with N2 3×, then heated at 105° C. for 2 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with EtOAc. The solution was filtered through celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography 0-5% MeOH/DCM, and then repurified with 0-20% Acetone/DCM. 292 mg of pure methyl 4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-1-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine-2-carboxylate was obtained, along with 592 mg of a 3:1.7 mixture of methyl 4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-1-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine-2-carboxylate and methyl 4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-1-methylpiperazine-2-carboxylate. Estimated yields based on 1H NMR: methyl 4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-1-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine-2-carboxylate (683 mg) and methyl 4-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-1-methylpiperazine-2-carboxylate (201 mg).
