Reaction Steps

O-Trifluoromethanesulfonyl-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-5-hydroxy-4-aza-1H-indole (150 mg, 0.412 mmol), 4-fluorophenylboronic acid (87 mg, 0.619 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (48 mg, 0.041 mmol), 4 mL of 2M aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran were placed in a round bottom flask. The mixture was heated to reflux (about 75° C.) and allowed to stir for about 18 hours. The reaction was poured into 3:1 chloroform:isopropyl alcohol, extracted three times each with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (silica gel, 0-10% methanol/dichloromethane) to give 87.9 mg of the title compound. (79%). MS(FD) m/e 309.6 (M+). EA calculated for C19H20FN3: C, 73.79; H, 6.47; N, 13.59. Found: C, 73.69; H, 6.73; N, 13.40.
