Reaction Steps

A 10-mL sealed tube, with stirrer bar, was charged with 4-chloro-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridine hydrochloride (0.100 g, 0.33 mol), methyl 2-(4-((4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)methyl)phenyl)acetate (0.096 g, 0.33 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (0.027 g, 0.033 mmol), and powdered Na2CO3 (0.141 g, 1.33 mmol). Dioxane (3 mL) and water (1.5 mL) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred under Ar at 90° C. for 3 d. until the starting chloride was consumed. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was adsorbed onto silica (4 g). Purification by chromatography on silica using dichloromethane/methanol (10:0 to 8:2) as eluent afforded the title compound (0.067 g, 53%) as a light brown solid. MW=377.86. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 12.24 (br s, 1H), 8.09-8.07 (m, 1H), 8.00-7.97 (m, 1H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 7.51-7.42 (m, 2H), 7.25-7.16 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.09 (m, 2H), 3.97 (s, 2H), 3.51 (s, 2H), 2.94 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.84 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.09-2.01 (m, 2H); ESI MS m/z 378 [M+H]+.
