Participants

Reaction Steps

Using Method S above, 4-methoxycarbonyl-phenyl boronic acid (29.6 mg, 0.164 mmol) (from Step A above) was coupled with (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-dihydro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-5-nitro-2H-indol-2-one (50 mg, 0.137 mmol) (Starting Material 6) using DPPFPdCl2 (5.6 mg) (Aldrich) as catalyst in aqueous 2M Na2CO3 (0.14 mL, 0.28 mmol) and DME (5 mL) at reflux for 18 h to give (Z)-4-[2,3-dihydro-3-[(3-methoxy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-5-nitro-2-oxo-1H-indol-4-yl]-benzoic acid methyl ester (yield: 41 mg, 71%).
