Reaction Steps

In a round-bottomed flask, 2-bromo-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid ((R)-1-oxazol-2-yl-ethyl)-amide (148 mg, 0.32 mmol) and 6-Fluoro-1-tributylstannyl-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (380 mg, 0.45 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (3 ml). The flask was evacuated and backfilled with argon then tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (19 mg, 0.016 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (13 mg, 0.068 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. in an oil bath overnight then cooled to room temperature, quenched with water and extracted with diethyl ether (2×). The combined organic layers were washed twice with water and once with brine then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed over silica sel with MeOH/CH2Cl2/0.5% NH4OH (gradient 0-2% MeOH) to afford 109 mg (66%) of 2-(6-fluoro-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-1-yl)-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid ((R)-1-oxazol-2-yl-ethyl)-amide as a yellow solid.
