Reaction Steps

To a solution of hexamethylditin (90 mg, 0.28 mmol) and 2-bromo-5-(2-trimethylsilanylethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-2-(3-cyano-azetidin-1-yl)-1-methyl-2-oxo-ethyl]-amide (100 mg, 0.20 mmol) in toluene (2 mL) was added Pd(Ph3P)4 (23 mg, 0.02 mmol). A stream of nitrogen gas was gently bubbled through the reaction mixture for 15 min then it was heated to 95° C. After 1.5 h 1-iodoisoquinoline (50 mg, 0.20 mmol) and Pd(Ph3P)4 (23 mg, 0.02 mmol) were added as solids in one portion. Heating was continued at 95° C. for 1.5 h and additional 1-iodoisoquinoline (25 mg, 0.10 mmol), DMF (0.5 mL) and copper (I) iodide (5 mg) were added. The reaction mixture was heated at 95° C. overnight. Additional 1-iodoquinoline (25 mg, 0.10 mmol) and Pd(Ph3P)4 (23 mg, 0.02 mmol) were added and heating was continued for 8 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, quenched with water, and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were washed with water (3×) and brine, then dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with 30% to 80% EtOAc/hexanes to afford 52 mg (48%) of 2-isoquinolin-1-yl-5-(2-trimethylsilanylethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid [(R)-2-(3-cyano-azetidin-1-yl)-1-methyl-2-oxo-ethyl]-amide as a yellow foam.
