Reaction Steps

In a pressure tube 2-bromo-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-1-(4-cyano-piperidine-1-carbonyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propyl]-amide (125 mg, 0.22 mmol) and 1-methyl-4-tributylstannanyl-1H-imidazole (97 mg, 0.26 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (2 mL). Pd(PPh3)4 (12.5 mg, 0.01 mmol) and CuI (8 mg, 0.04 mmol) were added. The tube was sealed and heated at 80° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, quenched with H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were washed with saturated aqueous LiCl and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified by SiO2 chromatography (0-10% MeOH/EtOAc) to afford 121 mg (95%) of 2-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-1-(4-cyano-piperidine-1-carbonyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propyl]-amide as a light brown gum.
