Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-indole (200 mg, 0.65 mmol) in dioxane/water 4:1 v/v (5 mL) was added phenylboronic acid (87 mg, 0.72 mmol) and a few milligrams of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0). The resulting suspension was heated in the microwave at 160° C. for 15 min. After cooling, the reaction was poured into water to give a precipitate, which was filtered off and washed with water. The resulting solid was purified by column chromatography eluting using a gradient (hexanes to ethyl acetate/hexanes 30:70 v/v), followed by a recrystallisation from hot ethyl acetate to afford 21 mg (11%) of the title compound (LCMS RT=8.54 min, MH+ 304.1)
