Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL flask added iridium complex (2.348 g, 3.29 mmol), 8-(4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridin-2-yl)-2-methylbenzofuro[2,3-b]pyridine (2.45 g, 6.58 mmol), 2-ethoxyethanol (60 mL), DMF (60 mL). The mixture was heated in an oil bath at 130° C. overnight under N2 and allowed to cool and evaporated the solvents to leave a red/orange solid which was further purified by silica gel column to give orange solid 1.7 g (61% yield) desired product which was confirmed by LC-MS.
