Reaction Steps

To 6-nitro-3-iodo-[2-(trimethyl-silanyl)-ethoxymethyl]-1H-indazole (11.0 g, 26.1 mmol), styryl boronic acid (4.64, 31.4 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (1.25 g, 1.08 mmol) under an atmosphere of argon was added toluene (192 mL), MeOH (4 mL) and 2N NaOH (aq) (32.6 mL, 65.3 mmol). The resulting heterogeneous mixture was heated to 90° C. After 8 h the reaction was diluted with EtOAc (150 mL) and water (50 mL), the phases were separated and the organic was extracted 2×50 mL EtOAc. The pooled organic phase was washed with brine (50 mL), then dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude reaction was purified by silica gel chromatography (1:9 EtOAc:hexane) to give 6-nitro-3-styryl-1-[2-(trimethyl-silanyl)-ethoxymethyl]-1H-indazole as a yellow solid (7.65 g, 74%): 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 148.3, 145.0, 141.3, 138.1, 134.2, 130.5, 129.9, 129.8, 129.5, 128.1, 127.4, 123.2, 119.8, 117.8, 108.2, 79.7, 68.5, 19.2, 0.0; MS (FAB) [M+Na]/z Calc'd418, found 418. Anal. Calc'd: C, 63.77; H, 6.37; N, 10.62. Found: C, 64.04; H, 6.29; N, 10.56.
