Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-3-[(3R,4S)-3-hydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl]benzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-one (Example 1, 0.040 g, 0.095 mmol) in 1 mL of THF under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added methyl zinc chloride (0.095 mL, 2 M in THF, 1.90 mmol) and [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), 1:1 complex with DCM (3 mol %). The reaction was heated at 50° C. for 18 h, cooled to rt, and quenched with water (2 mL). The mixture was filtered through celite and the aqueous layer was extracted 2× with dichloromethane. The combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via silica gel chromatography, eluting with 10-60% ethyl acetate in hexanes, to provide the title compound that gave proton NMR spectra consistent with theory and a mass ion (ES+) of 401.46 for [M+H]+: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.92 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 8.38 (s, 1H), 8.29 (s, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (s, 1H), 7.66-7.59 (m, 2H), 7.15 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.90 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 4.87-4.78 (m, 1H), 4.26-4.19 (m, 4H), 4.12-4.08 (m, 1H), 3.81 (br s, 1H), 3.61-3.54 (m, 1H), 3.44-3.37 (m, 1H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 2.33-2.23 (m, 1H), 2.03-1.99 (m, 1H).
