Reaction Steps

A 5-mL microwave tube was charged with 7-bromo-5-(2-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine (85 mg), 4-pyridylboronic acid (100 mg), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (20 mg), dimethylformamide (3.5 mL) and a saturated solution of sodium carbonate (0.5 mL). The reaction was heated to 150° C. for 360 seconds using microwave irradiation. The reaction was concentrated to dryness and the residue was taken up in water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined and dried over magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to an oil. Silica gel purification provided the title compound (5-(2-fluorophenyl)-7-(4-pyridinyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine, 35 mg) as an off-white crystalline solid. H1 NMR (d6-dmso): 8.40 (d, 2H), 7.57 (dd, 1H), 7.44 (t, 2H), 7.25 (m, 3H), 7.18 (m, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 6.99 (br t, 1H), 6.85 (d, 1H), 3.98 (m, 2H), 3.54 (m, 2H). Mass (ES+)=318.2 (100%).
