Reaction Steps

A solution of (1R,2S)-1-[(5-bromo-3,6-diethylpyrazin-2-yl)amino]-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-ol (1.48 g, 4.12 mmol) and 2,4-dichlorophenyl boronic acid (858 mg, 4.5 mmol) in benzene (41 mL) and 2M sodium carbonate (7 mL) was purged with nitrogen and treated with a single portion of bistriphenylphosphinepalladium(II)chloride (287 mg, 0.41 mmol). The resulting golden 2-phase solution was heated to 80° C. gradually darkening in color. After 16 hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, transferred to a separatory funnel, and washed with water (50 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (75 mL) and the combined organics were washed once with brine (75 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 2.36 g of a brown syrup. This material was purified by biotage MPLC (90 g column, 20% ethyl acetate/heptane) to afford 1.25 g (71%) of the title compound as a tan solid. OAMS supporting ions at: ESI+ 428.0; HRMS (FAB) calcd for C23H23CL2N3O+H1 428.1296, found 428.1292.
