A mixture of 1-benzyl-2-bromo-5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine (0.15 g, 0.47 mmol, from Example 62, Step 2) and 5-(tributylstannyl)-1,3-thiazole (0.17 g, 0.47 mmol, Synthonix) in toluene (9.0 mL) was degassed using a stream of nitrogen through the solution. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (54 mg, 0.047 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 110° C. for 5 hours. Solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in MeCN, filtered, and purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient from 0-40% EtOAc in hexanes. Yield: (67 mg, 44%). LCMS (M+H)+: 325.9.
