161.9 mg (0.67 mmol) of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone, 197.5 mg (0.78 mmol) of bis(pinacolato)diboron, 165.4 mg (1.69 mmol) of potassium acetate, 19.0 mg (0.03 mmol) of PdCl2(dppf), 200 mg (0.52 mmol) of N-[(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl]-7-bromo-1-benzofuran-2-carboxamide hydrochloride (Example 30A), 1.30 ml of 2 M sodium carbonate solution and a further 19.0 mg (0.03 mmol) of PdCl2(dppf) in 2.5 ml of DMF are reacted by general method D. Drying under high vacuum results in 166.6 mg (65% of theory) of the title compound.
