Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of indole 5 (690 mg, 3.28 mmol), methylboronic acid (495 mg, 3.94 mmol, 1.2 eq.), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (180 mg, 0.656 mmol, 0.2 eq.) and Cs2CO3 (3.20 g, 9.84 mmol, 3.0 eq.) in dioxane (21 mL) and water (3 mL) was stirred at 110° C. overnight under N2. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc=5/1) to give the desired product (170 mg, 1.17 mmol, 40.9%) as a white solid.
