Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-3-iodo-1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (D7) (1.1 g, 3.26 mmol), 1,2-dimethyl-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)indoline (970 mg, 3.55 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II) chloride (0.229 g, 0.326 mmol) and 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution (16.32 mL, 32.6 mmol) were suspended in DMF (10 mL), ACN (10 mL) and DCM (5 mL). This was degassed under nitrogen for 10 mins before being heated to 70° C. and left stirring at this temperature for 30 mins. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate/water (ca. 40 mL each). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (ca. 25 mL twice). The combined organic layer were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified using chromatography on silica, eluting with a gradient of 0-40% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane to afford title compound (544 mg). LCMS (A): m/z (M+H)+ 356/358, C18H18BrN3 requires 355/357 (acidic).
