Reaction Steps

A solution of 399 (1 g, 2.40 mmol) and 6-bromonicotinaldehyde (450 mg, 2.40 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) was treated sequentially with bis-trimethyl tin (500 μA, 787 mg, 2.40 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (270 mg, 0.24 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux under nitrogen overnight, cooled, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using the gradient 5%-10% MeOH in DCM and subsequent trituration by MeOH, providing pure 400 (494 mg, 52% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 10.11 (s, 1H), 9.10 (m, 1H), 8.65 (d, 1H, J=5.2 Hz), 8.62 (s, 1H), 8.51 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 8.48 (dd, 1H, J=2.8 Hz, J=10.4 Hz), 8.38 (dd, 1H, J=2.1 Hz, J=8.2 Hz), 8.20 (m, 1H), 7.73 (t, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 7.01 (d, 1H, J=5.5 Hz). MS (m/z): (M+1) 395.9.
