Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-fluoro-4-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine (261 mg; 0.7706 mmol), 7-bromoisoquinolin-3-amine (233.1 mg; 1.045 mmol), bis(di-tert-butyl(4-dimethylaminophenyl)phosphine)dichloropalladium(II) (52.8 mg; 0.0746 mmol), potassium carbonate (338 mg; 2.44566 mmol), acetonitrile (3.0 mL; 57 mmol) and water (0.30 mL; 17 mmol) was heated at 120° C. for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified via flash chromatography on silica gel (25 g silica, solvent gradient: 0-5% methanol in dichloromethane) to yield 162.4 mg (83%) of the title compound. LCMS (ESI): M+H=254.2; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.88 (s, 1H), 8.50 (s, 1H), 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.86 (s, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J=8.6, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 6.67 (s, 1H), 6.04 (s, 2H), 2.25 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 3H).
