Reaction Steps

Under an N2 atmosphere 56 mL 2 M Na2CO3 solution and 1.29 g (1.1 mmol) tetrakis-triphenylphosphane-palladium are added to a solution of 19.0 g (55.7 mmol) 2-[5-(5-bromo-pyridin-2-ylethynyl)-indol-1-yl]-ethanol and 11.55 g (72.4 mmol) 4-chlorophenyl-boric acid in 320 mL 1,4-dioxane and 80 mL MeOH and the reaction mixture is heated to 110° C. for 16 h. The mixture is evaporated down i. vac., the residue is combined with 300 mL water and the suspension is stirred vigorously. The precipitate is filtered off and washed with 200 mL water. The precipitate is suspended three times, each time with 600 mL PE/DCM (5:1), suction filtered and finally dried in the air until a constant weight is obtained.
