Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)-vinyl]amine (6.0 g, 18.5 mmol) and DABCO® (6.2 g, 55 mmol) in dimethylformamide (75 ml) was added bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (650 mg, 0.926 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. under an argon atmosphere. After 4 h, dimethylformamide was removed in vacuo and the residue was heated in ethyl acetate/methanol mixture. The product was filtered off to give a green solid which was redissolved in boiling methanol/chloroform mixture and treated with charcoal. The solution was filtered through a pad of Celite and the filtrate was concentrated to give 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine as a pale yellow solid (5.27 g).
