Abstract: Processes for preparing biheteroaryl compounds are provided, including the biheteroaryl compound 3-(difluoromethoxy)-5-[2-(3,3-difluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)-6-[(1S,4S)-2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-5-yl]pyrimidin-4-yl]pyridin-2-amine. Among other advantages, the processes provide for: the use of solvents that are relatively non-toxic and inexpensive; reduced usage of expensive precious metal catalysts; reaction temperature reduction in certain steps; the use of relatively non-toxic oxidation agents; the use of inexpensive transition metal catalysts; a reduction of molar ratios of certain reactants thereby improving process efficiency while reducing cost and waste; significantly higher reactant concentrations in certain steps; elimination of the need for multiple chromatographic purification steps; elimination of the need for certain extraction steps using organic solvent; and provide for higher yield and improved purity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for synthesizing a compound of formula (I), R1 is H or C1-6alkyl; R2 is H or hydroxy; or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or diastereomer thereof, which is useful for prophylaxis and treatment of a viral disease in a patient relating to hepatitis B infection or a disease caused by hepatitis B infection.
