Reaction Steps
In a manner similar to that described for Example YY, 3-(2-bromo-phenyl)-propan-1-ol (215 mg, 1.00 mmol), diboron pinacol ester (279 mg, 1.10 mmol), 1,1′-bis(diphenyl phosphino) ferrocene dichloropalladium (24 mg, 0.03 mmol), and potassium acetate (294 mg, 3.00 mmol), 2-Bromo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-azepino[5,4,3-cd]indol-6-one (239 mg, 0.90 mmol), a second portion of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene dichloropalladium (24 mg, 0.03 mmol), and sodium carbonate (2.5 mL of a 2.0 M aqueous solution, 5.00 mmol) were reacted to yield 2-[2-(3-hydroxy-propyl)-phenyl]-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-azepino[5,4,3-cd]indol-6-one, 127 mg (44%) as a beige solid: m.p. 233.5-234.5° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 1.53 (m, 2H), 2.61 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 2.69 (m, 2H), 3.23 (ABq, J=6.6, 5.1 Hz, 2H), 3.37 (m, 2H), 4.39 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (m, 4H), 7.51 (dd, J=7.8, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (dd, J=7.5, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (br t, 1H), 11.39 (br s, 1H).
