Reaction Steps

Argon was bubbled through a slurry of CuI (0.036 g, 0.190 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.110 g, 0.095 mmol), 2-chloro-6-(tributylstannyl)pyrazine (1.151 g, 2.85 mmol), 5-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-3-iodo-1-tosyl-1H-indole (1.00 g, 1.902 mmol) in 9 mL DMF for 2 min. The reaction was sealed and heated to 105° C. for 2 h. The reaction was cooled and partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed 1× brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The material was treated with DCM and purified by silica gel chromatography (80 g column) using 0-30% EtOAc/hexane. The product-containing fractions were concentrated to afford 5-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-3-(6-chloropyrazin-2-yl)-1-tosyl-1H-indole (0.88 g, 1.72 mmol, 91% yield) as a light-yellow solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 512 (M+1).
