Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-4,6-difluoro-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (157 mg, 0.64 mmol), 3-[4-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinan-2-yl)phenyl]oxetan-3-ol (190 mg, 0.725 mmol), and 2M aqueous potassium carbonate (1.2 mL, 2.4 mmol) in toluene (4 mL) and ethanol (2 mL) was degassed with nitrogen for 10 minutes, then treated with [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (44 mg, 0.06 mmol). The reaction mixture was sealed and heated to for 110° C. for 16 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and ammonium chloride. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography to give the title compound (38 mg).
