Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-6-fluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole (Intermediate 2; 1.0 g; 2.8 mmol), 1-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1.7 g; 8.4 mmol), KOAc (1.4 g; 14.0 mmol) and Pd(dppf)Cl2.CH2Cl2 (0.15 g; 0.18 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) flushed with nitrogen was heated to 90° C. overnight. The mixture was filtered through Celite, diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and water (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (20 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by a silica gel chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc=1/1) to afford 0.20 g (23%) of the title compound as a yellow solid.
