Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3,3,7-trimethylindolin-6-yl)morpholine (37.9 mg, 0.154 mmol), 4,6-dichloro-7-methoxy-2,3-dimethylquinoline (made by procedures A-D, 59.1 mg, 0.231 mmol), cesium carbonate (75.3 mg, 0.231 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (28.4 mg, 0.031 mmol), and Xantphos (26.7 mg, 0.046 mmol) in toluene (2 mL) under N2 was heated at 100° C. for 21 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and diluted with DCM-MeOH (8:2). The mixture was filtered and the filtrates were concentrated. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography over silica gel, using 40% EtOAc in hexane, and following the second purification by flash chromatography over silica gel, using 10% MeOH in DCM, gave 6-chloro-7-methoxy-2,3-dimethyl-4-(3,3,7-trimethyl-6-(4-morpholinyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl)quinoline. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.40 (1H, s), 7.09 (1H, s), 7.07 (1H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 6.72 (1H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 4.01 (3H, s), 3.93 (1H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 3.80-3.62 (4H, m), 3.53 (1H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 3.00-2.90 (2H, m), 2.75-2.69 (2H, m), 2.61 (3H, s), 2.42 (3H, s), 1.70 (3H, s), 1.33 (3H, s), 1.09 (3H, s). Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=466.1 (M+1).
