Into a 1-dram vial was added 142c (40 mg, 0.074 mmol), 1-ethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (1.2 equiv), cesium carbonate (1.5 equiv), Xantphos (10 mol %) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (5 mol %) in dry 1,4-dioxane (0.2 M). The reaction was then stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was then diluted with dichloromethane (3 mL) and washed with water (2×3 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product 142d was then carried on to the subsequent step without purification.
