Reaction Steps

In a 5 mL vial were added (2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-(4-iodo-pyridin-2-yl)-amine (Example 2(b), 75 mg, 0.2 mmol), tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (Aldrich Chemical Company) (12 mg, 0.011 mmol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (2 mL). After stirring under nitrogen for 10 min, aqueous Na2CO3 (22 mg in 0.5 mL of water) and 3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenylboronic acid (Aldrich Chemical Company) (42 mg, 0.25 mmol) were introduced. The reaction was heated in the Smith Microwave Synthesizer at 150° C. for 10 min. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc and the combined EtOAc layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification on a Biotage 40 S column (4:1 hexane:EtOAc) gave the title compound as a light-yellow solid. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 349 (M+1). Mp: 116.0-118.0° C.
