Methyl 4-pentynoate → (Z)-5-[2,3-Dihydro-5-fluoro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2-oxo-1H-indol-4-yl]-4-pentynoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using Method C above, 4-pentynoic acid methyl ester (75.7 mg, 0.68 5 mmol) (see Example 8, supra) was coupled with (Z)-1,3-dihydro-5-fluoro-4-iodo-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one (100 mg, 0.26 mmol) (Starting Material 6, supra) using (Ph3P)4Pd (31.2 mg) and Cul (5.0 mg) as catalyst in DMF (4 mL) and Et3N (4 mL) as solvent at 80° C. for 7 h to yield (Z)-5-[2,3-Dihydro-5-fluoro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2-oxo-1H-indol-4-yl]-4-pentynoic acid methyl ester. (Yield 86 mg, 90%).
