Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 7-chloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propyl-1H-indazole (0.247 g, 0.82 mmol) in anhydrous dioxane (6 mL) was added tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0) (0.015 g, 0.016 mmol) and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene HCl (0.014 g, 0.033 mmol). 4-Fluorophenylmagnesium bromide (0.74 mL, 1.48 mmol, 2M in diethyl ether) was added and the reaction heated to 80° C. for 18 hours. After this time an additional 50% of reagents were added and the reaction heated for an additional 18 hours. The reaction mixture was treated with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the organic phase was filtered and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo to yield crude title compound. The oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (5/1) to provide the title compound as a white solid (0.139 g, 0.39 mmol, 47%).
