After degassing for 30 min, Pd2dba3 (0.018 g, 0.019 mmol) is added, the flask is flushed with nitrogen and the mixture is heated to 85° C. After 3 h, the mixture is allowed to cool to r.t., diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered through a plug of silica gel (elution with ethyl acetate). The residue is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (heptane-ethyl acetate, 3:7 to 0:1) to give 2-(5-amino-pyridin-3-yl)-1-methyl-1H-indole as an off-white powder. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 3.74 (s, 3H), 5.49 (s, 2H), 6.56 (s, 1H), 7.05-7.09 (m, 1H), 7.09-7.10 (m, 1H), 7.17-7.21 (m, 1H), 7.49 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.99 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H).
