7-Amino-5-chloro-2-phenyl-1H-indole (200 mg, 0.82 mmol) prepared in Example 3 was dissolved in toluene (30 mL). 2-Bromopyridine (182 mg, 1.15 mmol), Pd2(dba)3, Xantphos (42 mg, 0.07 mmol) and Na2CO3 were added thereto. The mixture was degassed, and stirred for 12 h at 100° C. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through a cellite. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: EtOAc/n-Hex=1/3) to give the title compound (25 mg, Yield 13%).
