Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (1.1 g, 5.7 mmol), tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-3-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]azetidine-1-carboxylate (2.00 g, 5.15 mmol) (Example 40, Step 1), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.30 g, 0.26 mmol) and sodium carbonate (1.64 g, 15.4 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (100 mL) and water (50 mL) under N2(g) was stirred at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL), The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure until 5 mL of solvent was left. The resulting precipitate (0.90 g) was collected by filtration and washed with ether. The filtrate was further concentrated under reduced pressure to a volume of about 3 mL. The precipitate formed was filtered, and washed with ether to afford additional product (0.50 g). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure again. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column with methanol in dichloromethane (0-5%) to afford additional desired product (0.55 g). Total amount of product was 1.95 g (yield: 92.3%). LCMS (M+H)+: m/z=379.1.
