Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-2-cyanopyridine (Sakamoto, T. et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1985, 33(2), 565-571) (340 mg, 1.86 mmol) and indole (436 mg, 3.72 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (737 mg, 2.26 mmol), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (83 mg, 0.143 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (42 mg, 0.046 mmol) and the reaction stirred at 110° C. for 2.5 d. The mixture was concentrated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/Hexanes, 2:1) to give 3-indol-1-yl-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (362 mg, 89%) as a beige solid.
