Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-bromo-5-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (Example 96, step 1) (55.0 mg, 0.213 mmol), (3aR,6aS)-1-methylhexahydrocyclopenta[d]imidazol-2(1H)-one (Example 106, step 3) (35.8 mg, 0.256 mmol, 1.2 equiv.), 139 mg cesium carbonate (139 mg, 0.426 mmol, 2 equiv.), and 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (xantphos) (5 mg, 0.008 mmol, 0.04 equiv.) in 1 ml of toluene was added under argon atmosphere tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) (4 mg, 0.0046 mmol, 0.02 equiv.). The mixture was stirred overnight at 70° C. The mixture was directly loaded on a 20 g silicagel column and was eluted with a heptane to 33% ethylacetate in heptane gradient to yield the title compound (49 mg, 73%) as an amorphous light-yellow solid, MS: m/e=318.1 (M+H+).
