Reaction Steps

In an oven-dried sealed tube, a mixture of 5-(((4-methoxybenzyl)-oxy)methyl)furo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (2.0 g, 6.4 mmol), 3-bromo-2-amino pyridine (3.31 g, 19.2 mmol), N-methyl morpholine (1.93 g, 19.2 mmol) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylchloroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate (3.58 g, 12.8 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 40% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the title compound. MS: m/z=468.5 (M+1).
