Procedure:
To a small sealed tube was added methyl 5-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)benzoate (67.3 mg, 0.1 mmol), dioxane (3 mL), water (0.600 mL), 2-chlorophenylboronic acid (18.76 mg, 0.120 mmol), cesium carbonate (32.6 mg, 0.100 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (2.311 mg, 2.000 μmol). The tube was sealed and heated overnight at 80° C. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, filtered through a plug of CELITE® and concentrated to near dryness under a stream of nitrogen. The crude reaction mixture was taken up in 6 mL of acetonitrile and purified using a Shimadzu preparative HPLC employing acetonitrile/water/trifluoroacetic acid where solvent A was 10% acetonitrile/90% water/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid and solvent B was 10% water/90% acetonitrile/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid with a Waters Sunfire 3.5 μm C18 19×150 mm column at a gradient of 30-100% B and a flow rate of 25 mL/min. over 20 minutes with a 10 minute hold. The solvent was removed giving 48 mgs (89% yield) of methyl 2′-chloro-4-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(methylcarbamoyl)benzofuran-5-yl)-5-methylbiphenyl-2-carboxylate as a white solid. The LC/MS data was obtained on a Shimadzu analytical LC/MICROMASS® Platform LC (ESI+) at 220 nm using the following set of conditions: PHENOMENEX® Luna 3 μm C18, 2×50 mm column, with a gradient of 0-100% B (B=90% HPLC grade acetonitrile/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid/10% HPLC grade water), (A=90% HPLC grade water/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid/10% HPLC grade acetonitrile), in 4 minutes with a 1 minute hold at a rate of 0.8 mL/minute. 1H NMR (500 MHz, THF-d8) δ ppm 2.35 (s, 3H), 2.91 (d, J=4.58 Hz, 3H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 7.21-7.26 (m, 3H), 7.27-7.30 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.34 (m, 2H), 7.38 (dd, J=8.39, 1.68 Hz, 1H), 7.41-7.44 (m, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=4.27 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 1H), 7.75 (d, J=1.53 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (s, 1H), 8.13-8.19 (m, 2H). LCMS m/z 528.4 (M+H), Rt=4.036 min., 98.3% purity.
