Procedure
5-Bromo-2-(1-ethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (314 mg, 0.715 mmol), molybdenum hexacarbonyl (94 mg, 0.357 mmol), methanol (0.434 mL, 10.72 mmol), DIPEA (0.250 mL, 1.430 mmol), DMAP (175 mg, 1.430 mmol) and trans-bis(acetato)bis[o-(di-o-tolylphosphino)benzyl]dipalladium(II) (34 mg, 0.036 mmol) were dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (12 mL) in a microwave vial. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated in Biotage Initiator microwave to 190° C. for 2 h. After allowing the reaction mixture to cool, LCMS showed ˜37% conversion to the desired product, as well as ˜12% conversion to the hydrolysed product. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product, methyl 2-(1-ethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-7-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate (512 mg, 1.224 mmol, 171% yield) as a brown gum which was used without further purification.
