Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8-bromo-10a-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,10,10a-tetrahydro-1H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazin-5-one (60 mg, 0.17 mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), complex with CH2Cl2 (13 mg, 0.016 mmol) and trimethylboroxine solution in THF (3.5, M, 0.84 mmol, 0.24 mL) in 1,4-dioxane (1.5 mL) was added a solution of potassium fluoride (30 mg, 0.52 mmol) in water (0.5 mL). The reaction vessel was flushed with argon and then heated at 140° C. for 20 minutes in the microwave. The suspension was then diluted with CH2Cl2 and filtered. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage SP4, 12 g cartridge, CH2Cl2 3 CV, gradient 0-10% MeOH in CH2Cl2 15 CV) to give 10a-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-methyl-2,3,10,10a-tetrahydro-1H,5H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrrolo[1,2-d]pyrazin-5-one as off-white solid (25 mg, yield 40%). ESI-MI m/z [M+H]+ 298.0.
