Sodium Carbonate → 5-(2,5-difluorobenzyl)-N-(2-(5-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of benzene boronic acid (0.023 g; 0.191 mmol), N-(2-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-5-(2,5-difluorobenzyl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide (0.080 g; 0.174 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.020; 0.017 mmol) and sodium carbonate (0.037 g; 0.347 mmol) in DME (3 mL) and water (1 mL) was irradiated in the microwave oven at 130° C. for 20 minutes, the resulting solution was partitioned between water and EA, the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluent 20 to 100% ethyl acetate in heptane) and by preparative HPLC method 2 to yield 0.0048 g (6%) of 5-(2,5-difluorobenzyl)-N-(2-(5-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide as a white solid.
