Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-1-perhydro-2H-pyran-2-yl-1H-indazole-5-carbonitrile (1.0 g, 0.327 mmol) in ethylene glycol dimethylether (35 mL) was added 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl boronic acid (892 mg, 4.9 mmol), potassium phosphate (6.9 g, 33 mmol), and [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene] complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (267 mg, 0.33 mmol). The reaction was heated to reflux for 12 hours when the solvent was removed under vacuo and the crude reaction mixture subjected to chromatography on silica gel eluting with 25% ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound (550 mg, 46% yield). ES-MS (m/z) 364 [M+1]+.
