Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-Ethynyl-2,8-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (113 mg, 0.50 mmol), 2,5-dibromopyridine (100 mg, 0.42 mmol), dichlorobistriphenylphosphine palladium (II) (8 mg, 0.012 mmol) and TBAF.3H2O (396 mg, 1.26 mmol) were charged in a reaction vessel and heated at 80° C. for 5 min in microwave. After completion of reaction (as monitored by TLC & LCMS) the reaction mixture was poured into water (10 mL) and the desired compound extracted with EtOAc (20 mL×2). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated under vacuum and purified by reverse phase chromatography to obtain 20 mg of 5-[2-(6-Bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-1-fluoro-vinyl]-2,8-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole. 1H NMR (CD3OD, HCl salt) δ (ppm): 8.62 (s, 1H), 8.08 (d, 1H), 7.78 (d, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.16 (d, 1H), 6.10 (d, 1H), 4.62 (d, 2H), 4.30 (d, 1H), 3.80 (m, 1H), 3.50 (m, 2H), 3.05 (s, 3H), 2.38 (s, 3H).
