Reaction Steps

To 240 mL of 1,4-dioxane, were added (3E)-3-(4-bromo-5,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)-6-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (3.0 g, 9.3 mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (complex with CH2Cl2, 360 mg, 0.49 mmol), 1M KF aqueous solution (37.5 mL, 37.5 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 70° C. under Ar and then 2-chloro-5-pyridineboronic acid (1.57 g, 10.0 mmol) was added in several portions. The reaction was heated at 70° C. under Ar for 22 hours. LC-MS indicated that no starting material molecular peak left; the major peak at 2.59 min with MH+=357.0 was assigned to the product, 3-[4-(6-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-5H-furan-(2E)-ylidene]-6-fluoro-1.3-dihydro-indol-2-one (yield>60%).
