Reaction Steps

1,4-Dioxane (3 mL) was transferred to a microwave vial (Smith Creator®) containing 3-chloro-2-(3-methylphenyl)pyridine (100 mg, 0.49 mmol), 1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole boronic acid (95 mg, 0.54 mmol), PdCl2(dppf)2.CH2Cl2 (35 mg, 0.042 mmol) and 2M aq. Na2CO3 (0.6 mL, 1.2 mmol). Slow stream of argon was bubbled through the heterogeneous red solution while stirring the reaction mixture. The vial was capped and heated in a microwave at 150° C. for 50 min. Progress of the reaction was analyzed by LC/MS. The reaction mixture was passed through a pad of Celite® and washed the pad with EtOAc (10 mL). The filtrate was concentrated and purified by preparative HPLC. Subsequently, product fractions were concentrated, diluted with water, neutralized with aq. NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. Organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The concentrate was dissolved in acetonitrile/water (1:1, 15 mL) and allowed to freeze by external cooling in dry ice/acetone. Lyophilization of the frozen residue resulted in an off-white solid of 1-methyl-6-(2-m-tolylpyridin-3-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.64 (dd, 1H, J=1.7 and 4.7 Hz), 8.16 (s, 1H), 7.87 (dd, 1H, J=1.7 and 7.6 Hz), 7.51 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 7.47-7.43 (m, 2H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 7.03-6.97 (m, 2H), 6.90 (app d, 1H, J=6.7 Hz), 6.85 (dd, 1H, J=8.5 Hz), 3.76 (s, 3H), 2.19 (s, 3H). 19F NMR (DMSO-d6): δ −114.29 (s).LCMS: rt 3.16 min (A), purity 97%, MS (m/e) 300 (MH
