Reaction Steps
(S)-6-bromo-1-(sec-butyl)-N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-3-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxamide (100 mg, 0.23 mmol), N,N-dimethyl-1-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)methanamine, HCl (100 mg, 0.34 mmol) and Palladium Tetrakis (26 mg, 0.023 mmol) in DMF/water (3 ml:1 ml) were stirred for 10 min under nitrogen. Cesium carbonate (220 mg, 0.68 mmol) was added and the insoluble mixture was irradiated (microwave) at 150° C. for 15 min. The contents were evaporated, dissolved in DCM/MeOH (1:1), and pre-absorbed on silica gel and purified using silica gel chromatography (eluent: DCM/MeOH/NH4OH, gradient 0 to 80:20:2 in DCM). The isolated product was first treated with EtOAc along with some hexanes. The product was then dissolved in MeOH and purified by reverse-phase HPLC (30×100 Varian Polaris C18 column, eluent: 10-80% gradient of MeCN in water with 0.1% TFA). The product fractions were combined, most of the solvent was evaporated, and a sat. solution of NaHCO3 was added. Solids that crashed out were filtered, air-dried for 15 min, and dried in vacuum-oven overnight. The solid product was collected as 87 mg (75%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 11.38 (br. s., 1H), 8.23 (t, J=4.67 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (d, J=1.01 Hz, 1H), 7.60-7.64 (m, 2H), 7.40 (t, J=7.58 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 7.20-7.26 (m, 2H), 5.87 (s, 1H), 4.59-4.68 (m, 1H), 4.36 (s, 1H), 4.35 (s, 1H), 3.46 (s, 2H), 2.24 (s, 3H), 2.18 (s, 9H), 2.11 (s, 3H), 1.76-1.88 (m, 2H), 1.41 (d, J=6.57 Hz, 3H), 0.74 (t, J=7.33 Hz, 3H); LCMS: 499.4 (MH+).
