In a dry 25 mL round bottom flask, 7-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-ylamine (0.162 g, 0.533 mmol, 1 equiv), 4-bromo-N-isopropyl-N-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethyl)-benzenesulfonamide (0.3 g, 0.8 mmol, 1.5 equiv), cesium carbonate (0.522 g, 1.59 mmol, 3 equiv), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethyl xanthene (0.062 g, 0.106 mmol, 0.2 equiv) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium (0.049 g, 0.0533 mmol, 0.1 equiv) were combined. The reactants were flushed with argon, diluted with dioxane (20 mL), and outfitted with a reflux condenser. The reaction was heated to reflux for 2 hours, then filtered hot and the solvents were evaporated. Purification on silica gel flash column provided desired product, 0.144 g yellow solids, which were taken up in 5 mL DCM and treated with 2 mL 2M HCl in ether solution. The solvents were then evaporated and the resulting solids were collected and dried to yield a yellow solid (0.16 g, 50% yield). MS (ESI+): m/z=599.2, LC retention time: 2.99 min. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 0.98 (d, 6H), 1.88 (m, 2 H), 2.01 (m, 2H), 2.72 (s, 3H), 3.02-108 (m, 2H), 3.37 (m, 2H), 3.46 (m, 2H), 3.62 (m, 2H), 4.02 (m, 1H), 7.53 (m, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.79 (s, 1H), 7.92 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 8.18 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.27 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 10.7 (m, 1H), 11.51 (s, 1H).
