Procedure

To a suspension of zinc dust (458 mg, 7.00 mmol) and lithium chloride (212 mg, 5.00 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was added dibromoethane (0.043 mL, 0.50 mmol) under nitrogen. The mixture was heated at 70° C. for 10 minutes before cooling and adding chlorotrimethlsilane (0.013 mL, 0.10 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour then 4-iodotetrahydro-2H-pyran (1060 mg, 5.00 mmol) was added and stirring continued for 18 hours. This mixture was added to a pre-stirred (10 minutes) suspension of 3-cyano-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-[2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-N-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylbenzenesulfonamide (Preparation 429, 11 mg, 0.3 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (6.7 mg, 0.03 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (24.6 mg, 0.06 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours before pouring into saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a residue that was purified using an ISCO™ system eluting with heptane:ethyl acetate (1:0 to 4:6, by volume). The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (3 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL) was added. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, methanol (20 mL) was added and the resulting precipitate was filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified using preparative HPLC to afford the title compound.
