3,5-dichloropyridazine (200 mg, 1.34 mmol), 1-methyl-1H-indazole-5-boronic acid (260 mg, 1.48 mmol), K2CO3 (556.6 mg, 4.03 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (233, 0.20 mmol) were taken in a microwave vial, and the vial was vacuum pumped and flushed with argon three times. To this mixture was added degassed 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) and degassed water (2.5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 95° C. for 2 h then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite (ethyl acetate eluent) and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexanes/ethyl acetate eluent) provided the product. LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C14H10ClN4: 245.1 (M+H+); Found: 245.2 (M+H+). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 9.15 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 8.44 (s, 1H), 8.21 (dd, J=8.8, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.11 (s, 1H), 7.97 (s, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 4.14 (s, 3H).
