The synthesis began with the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of 2-fluorobromobenzene (2) with (S)-N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinol 3 to give the bromo intermediate 4, which was borylated via halogen metal exchange using n-hexLi in THF followed by treatment with triisopropyl borate and acidic work-up to give the boronic acid intermediate 5. Suzuki coupling of the boronic acid 5 with bromothiophene 6(2)afforded the intermediate 7. Intermediate 7 was subjected to regioselective bromination using bromine in acetic acid. This reaction was nonregioselective and yielded 17% of the required isomer 8. The bromo compound 8 was coupled with isoxazole boronate ester 9 by another Suzuki reaction to get the title compound. The overall yield of the synthesis was <6%.

An efficient and scalable synthesis of AZD3264 is described in which the differential reactivities of various halogen atoms have been employed. The process involves five linear chemical steps with three isolated stages starting from commercially available fragments.

Purification

To a stirred suspension of crude AZD3264 (1) (1.75 kg, 3.98 mol) in methanol (23.75 L) and water (2.64 L) was added formic acid (0.24 kg, 5.18 mol), and the mixture was heated to 40 °C for 1.5 h, cooled to 25 °C, and basified with aqueous ammonia (12.29 M in water, 1.62 L, 19.92 mol). The product was isolated by filtration.
