Reaction Steps

In a microwave vial a mixture of (4S,6S)-4-(5-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-4-(fluoromethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-amine (8a, 110 mg, 0.295 mmol), 5-cyano-3-pyridinyl boronic acid (43.6 mg, 0.295 mmol), and cesium carbonate (384 mg, 1.179 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) and water (983 μL) was purged with argon for 5 min. Dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium (II) dichloromethane adduct (12.04 mg, 0.015 mmol) was added and the tube was sealed and the mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. Additional 3-cyanopyridine-5-boronic acid pinacol ester (67.8 mg, 0.295 mmol) and dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium (II) dichloromethane adduct (12.04 mg, 0.015 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for another 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water and brine. The aqueous layer was back extracted with EtOAc (2×) and the combined organics was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude material was purified by chromatography through a Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (12 g), eluting with a gradient of 0% to 0% EtOAc in hexane, to provide 5-(3-((4S,6S)-2-amino-4-(fluoromethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-4-yl)-4-fluorophenyl)nicotinonitrile (77 mg, 0.194 mmol, 65.9% yield) as off-white solid. MS m/z=397 [M]+. Calculated for C18H13F5N4O: 396.31.
