A 20-mL vial, with stirrer bar, was charged with 4-chloro-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridine (0.200 g, 1.20 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (0.062 g, 0.076 mmol) and THF (4.0 mL) at rt under nitrogen. A solution of 4-methylbenzylzinc chloride (2.3 mL, 0.5M in THF, 1.14 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was placed under argon and stirred at 80° C. for 23 h. until the starting chloride was consumed. The cooled reaction was absorbed onto silica and purified by chromatography on silica gel using hexanes/ethyl acetate as the eluent followed by chromatography on silica gel using hexanes/dichloromethane as the eluent, to afford the free base of the title compound (0.104 g, 41% yield) as an oil. MW=333.85. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 7.93-7.91 (m, 1H), 7.76 (dt, J=7.0, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.36-7.30 (m, 2H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.11 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.06 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 3.91 (s, 2H), 3.07 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.87 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.33 (s, 3H), 2.13 (quin, J=7.5 Hz, 2H). Treatment with 1.25M HCl in methanol (0.38 mL, 0.47 mmol) afforded 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-(4-methylbenzyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[b]pyridine hydrochloride (0.108 g, 38%) as a white solid. MW=370.31. M.p. 44-46° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 8.10-8.07 (m, 1H), 7.98-7.93 (m, 1H), 7.81 (s, 1H), 7.57-7.50 (m, 2H), 7.17 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.11 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 4.60 (br s, 1H), 4.01 (s, 2H), 3.04 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.87 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 2.09 (quin, J=7.5 Hz, 2H); ESI MS m/z 334 [M+H]+.
