To a solution of tert-butyl[(2E)-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-yl]carbamate (3-3) (32.5 mg, 0.115 mmol, 4 eq) and 6-bromobenzo[g][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]isoquinolin-3(2H)-one (7-6) (9.0 mg, 0.029 mmol, 1 eq) in THF (0.5 ml) was added a solution of cesium carbonate (18.7 mg, 0.058 mmol, 2 eq) in water (0.2 ml), and the resulting mixture was deoxygenated with nitrogen and treated with Pd(dppf) (1.0 mg, 0.0014 mmol, 0.05 eq). The reaction mixture was deoxygenated again, and heated in a sealed tube under microwave irradiation for 8 min at 150° C. The resulting suspension was filtered through a pad of Celite washing with DMF, and the filtrate was purified on RP HPLC (MeCN/Water with TFA) to afford the desired coupling product 7-7. LRMS m/z: found 391.2, calcd. (M+H) 391.2.
