Reaction Steps

Palladium(II) acetate (25 mg) and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (106 mg) in dioxane (10 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 minutes. To this suspension was added ethyl 5,6-dichloronicotinate (500 mg), 2-aminoindane (363 mg), and cesium carbonate (1.1 g), and the mixture was heated at 10° C. for 8 hours. The resulting mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1 v/v) to give ethyl 5-chloro-6-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-ylamino)nicotinate (420 mg) as a pale tan solid.
