2-Bromo-N,N-dipropylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5-amine (prepared in example 61) (0.17 g, 0.57 mmol) was dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (1.5 mL). Pd(PPh3)4 (0.033 g, 0.028 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 15 minutes. The solution was cooled and 2,4-dimethylphenylboronic acid (0.103 g, 0.69 mmol) in DME (1 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. KOtBu (0.128 g, 1.14 mmol) in tBuOH (1 mL) was also added to the reaction. The reaction was heated to 100° C. for 1 hr. The solution was filtered through paper and concentrated. Crude material was purified via reverse phase HPLC (acetonitrile containing 0.1% TFA/water containing 0.1% TFA) to obtain 3.1 mg of the title compound (2% yield).
