To a 2-5 mL Biotage microwave vial with a stir bar were added 3-aminobiphenyl (370.5 mg, 2.189 mmol), 2-chloro-4- iodonicotinonitrile (578 mg, 2.186 mmol), Pd(OAc)2(9.6 mg, 0.043 mmol), DPEPhos (36.1 mg, 0.0671 mmol), and CS2CO3(988 mg, 3.03 mmol). The vial was sealed and treated with dioxane (4.35 mL), evacuated/flushed with argon 4X, and stirred at 150 C under argon for 30. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature, treated with tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(2- sulfanylacetyl)amino]piperidine-l -carboxylate (Intermediate 22) in dioxane (4.05 mL, 0.65 M, 2.63 mmol) via syringe, evacuated/flushed with argon 4X, and stirred at 150 C for 15 min. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature, treated with solid CDI (1.409 g, 8.689 mmol) in one portion under air, resealed and evacuated/flushed with argon 4X, and stirred at 150 C for 15 min. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL), and washed with 0.5 M citric acid/brine (2 x 8 mL) and 2 M K2CO3(1 x 5 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SC>4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography to give the title compound as a beige foam (289 mg, 23.2% yield). |
