Reaction Steps

To an oven dried, argon purged flask fitted with magnetic stir-bar is charged 5-bromo-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1H-indol-3-ylboronic acid 15 (141.6 mg, 0.400 mmol), N-Methyl maleimide 16 (22.2 mg, 0.200 mmol), Rhodium catalyst (0.05 equiv.), anhydrous dioxane (1 mL) and stirring begun. H2O (0.05 mL) added, and mixture heated in an oil bath as per the conditions outlined in Table 9 below. The reaction mixture was filtered through silica gel bed, and the solvent was evaporated to obtain crude product. The crude product was purified via chromatography on silica gel (20% Ethylacetate/80% Hexanes) to yield 3-(5-bromo-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione 17. The enantiomeric excess was determined with chiral HPLC.
