Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[4-(4-bromophenyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethanone (200 mg, 0.70 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane/H2O (5 mL/1 mL) was added methyl-6-chloro-5-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinan-2-yl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (183 mg, 1.20 mmol), potassium carbonate (270 mg, 2.10 mmol) and PddppfCl2 (50 mg, 0.070 mmol). The reaction mixture was degassed with nitrogen and the mixture was heated to 90° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product. The material was partitioned between water (20 mL) and ethyl acetate (20 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was washed two additional times with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The combined organics layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to to give the title compound (240 mg, 83% yield) which was used in the next step without further purification.
