Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Cesium carbonate (0.724 g, 2.22 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (0.081 g, 0.17 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.078 g, 0.09 mmol) were added under argon to a mixture of ethyl 7-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (0.460 g, 1.71 mmol) and 1-(5-(2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)indolin-1-yl)ethanone (0.491 g, 1.79 mmol) (example 38c) in dry degassed dioxane (8 mL) and the reaction was heated at 95° C. over night. After cooling to room temperature, water and DCM were added and the layers separated. The aq phase was extracted with DCM (3×). The combined organic phases were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH 95/5) to give 0.485 g (61%) of the product.
