Reaction Steps
6-(22-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-3-(((E)-styryl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-indazole was converted to 6-(2-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-3-E-styryl-1H-indazole in a similar manner to that described for Example 27(a). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) □8.53 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 8.15 (d, 1H, J-9.2 Hz), 7.97 (dd, 1H, 1=2.6, 8.6 Hz), 7.79 (s, 1H), 7.74-7.34 (m, 8H), 6.94 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz). HRMS (FAB) [M+H]/z Calc'd 328.1450, found 328.1462. Anal. Calc'd, C (77.04), H (5.23), N (12.83). Found: C (77.00), H (5.28), N (12.65). The starting material was prepared as follows: A solution of 5-bromo-2-methoxypyridine (2.00 g, 6.10 mmol), hexamethylditin (1.15 g, 6.10 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.28 g, 0.24 mmol) in degassed dioxane (10 ml) was refluxed under for 16 h. 6-Iodo-3-((E)-styryl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanylthoxymethyl)-1H-indazole (2.90 g, 6.10 mmol) was added to above mixture, followed by Pd(PPh3)4 (0.35 g 0.31 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 h. The mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (150 ml), and washed with brine (30 ml). The organics were dried over MgSO4, then concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel chromatography gave 6-(2-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-3-((E)-styryl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)1H-indazole as a yellow solid (1.12 g, 40%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.51 (d, 1H, J=2.5 Hz), 8.50 (d, 1H, J=9.1 Hz), 7.93 (dd, 1H, J=2.5, 8.6 Hz), 7.69 (s, 1H), 7.69-7.28 (m, 8H), 6.89 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz), 5.83 (s, 2H), 4.03 (s, 3H), 3.64 (t, 2H, J=8.3 Hz), 0.93 (t, 2H, 1=8.3 Hz), −0.03 (s, 9H).
