Procedure

(260 mg, 1.0 mmol) 2-Bromo-5-trimethylsilanylethynyl-pyridine (Example 37, step 1) was dissolved in toluene (2 ml) and 4,4-dimethylpyrrolidin-2-one (115 mg, 1.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), cesium carbonate (660 mg, 2.05 mmol, 2.0 equiv.), xantphos (CAS 161265-03-8) (24 mg, 0.04 mmol, 0.04 equiv.) and Pd2(dba)3 (19 mg, 0.02 mmol, 0.02 equiv.) were added under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 90° C. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography by directly loading the toluene mixture onto a silica gel column and eluting with an ethyl acetate:heptane gradient 0:100 to 40:60. The desired 4,4-dimethyl-1-(5-trimethylsilanylethynyl-pyridin-2-yl)-pyrrolidin-2-one (230 mg, 0.81 mmol, 75% yield) was obtained as a yellow solid, MS: m/e=287.1 (M+H+).
