Reaction Steps

To 10 mL of 1,4-dioxane were added (3E)-3-(4-bromo-5,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene)-5,6-difluoro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (150 mg, 0.44 mmol), 6-fluoropyridin-3-ylboronic acid (74 mg, 0.53 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (22 mg, 0.031 mmol), 2M Na2CO3 aqueous solution (0.6 mL, 1.2 mmol). The mixture was heated at 78° C. under N2 for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature and poured into 100 mL of water. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried to give the crude product. Purification of the crude product through silica gel column with 1-3% MeOH/CHCl3 gave (3E)-5,6-difluoro-3-[4-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene]-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one as a yellow solid (yield: 60 mg, 38%).
