Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-9-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b;4′,3′-d]pyrrole-6-carbonitrile (700 mg, 0.87 mmol), 4-hydroxymethylbenzeneboronic acid (400 mg, 1.32 mmol) and 1,1′-[bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (52.5 mg, 0.064 mmol) in acetonitrile (21 mL) and 2N aqueous potassium fluoride solution (21 mL) was divided equally across two 25 mL microwave vials. Each vial was degassed with nitrogen for 10 minutes before the mixtures were heated under microwave irradiation at 140° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixtures were allowed to cool to ambient temperature, combined and diluted with water (50 mL). The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 mL) and left to air dry. The resultant grey solid was purified by flash column chromatography (silica, 40 g column, ISCO, 0-100% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane). The isolated solid was then triturated with hot t-BME to afford the title compound as a light grey solid (646 mg, 26%). LCMS (Method B): RT=4.11 min, M+H+=431.
