Reaction Steps
To 3-styryl-1-[2-(trimethyl-silanyl)-ethoxymethyl]-1H-indazol-6-ylamine (1.1 g, 3 mmol, m-nitro-iodobenzene (0.9 g, 3.6 mmol), BINAP (0.07 g, 0.133 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (34 mg, 0.0375 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.37 g, 4.2 mmol) under an atmosphere of argon was added toluene (6 mL). The resulting heterogeneous mixture was heated to 80° C. After 46 h the reaction was cooled to 23° C. diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (20 mL) and filtered. Water (5 mL) was added, the phases were separated, and the organic was extracted 2×50 mL EtOAc. The pooled organic material was washed with brine, then dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude reaction was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluting with 9:1 hexane:EtOAc) to give (3-nitro-phenyl)-{3-styryl-1-[2-(trimethyl-silanyl)-ethoxymethyl]-1H-indazol-6-yl}-amine as a yellow solid (7.65 g, 74%): TLC (Hexane:EtOAc 7:3) Rf sm 0.16, Rf p 0.30 (ethyl acetate:hexane 3:7); FTIR (KBr) 3391, 3059, 2952, 2894, 1614, 1530, 1483, 1346, 1248, 1076, 836, 734 cm−1; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.86 (s, 1H), 7.83 (s, 1H), 7.65 (dt, 1H, J=2.21, 5.13 Hz), 7.15-7.41 (m, 5H), 6.93 (dd, 1H, J=1.87, 8.67 Hz), 5.56 (s, 2H), 3.51 (t, 2H, J=8.17 Hz), 0.81 (t, 2H, J=7.96 Hz), −0.15 (s, 9H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 149.6, 144.8, 143.5, 142.4, 140.9, 137.3, 131.8, 130.3, 129.0, 128.2, 126.7, 122.8, 122.6, 120.1, 119.3, 116.1, 115.6, 111.4, 98.5, 77.9,66.7, 18.0, −1.2; MS (ESI) [M+H]/z Calc'd 487, found 487.
