Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel was charged with 2-bromo-6-cyclopropylpyrazine (1.27 g, 6.39 mmol, Combi-Phos Catalysts Inc.) and Pd(PPh3)4 (308 mg, 0.27 mmol). The tube was sealed. A solution of 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-indazole (1.30 g, 5.33 mmol) in dioxane (18 mL) and 2 M Na2CO3 (aq.) (8.0 mL, 16.0 mmol) were added. The reaction was stirred and heated at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to RT, the organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes, to provide 5-(6-cyclopropylpyrazin-2-yl)-1H-indazole (575 m g, 2.43 mmol, 46% yield) as an off-white solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 237.2 (M+1).
