Reaction Steps

To a CEM microwave tube containing (cyclopropylmethyl){[5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3-pyridinyl]methyl}amine (21 mg, 0.0725 mmol) was added 5-bromo-3-[1-(ethylsulfonyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1H-indole-7-carboxamide (30 mg, 0.0723 mmol), dioxane (0.75 mL), a solution of potassium carbonate (60 mg, 0.434 mmol) in H2O (0.25 mL), and chloro-2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-ferrocen-1-yl-(dinorbornylphosphine)palladium(II) (4.4 mg, 0.00723 mmol). The reaction was heated in a CEM microwave for 30 min at 150° C. The reaction mixture was filtered through a 2 g SCX cartridge (pre-equilibrated with 3 mL MeOH), eluting in sequence with H2O (3 mL), MeOH (6 mL) and a 2 M solution of NH3/MeOH (9 mL). The NH3/MeOH fraction was dried under a stream of nitrogen at 40° C. and purified on an Agilent MDAP (Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 column: 21.2×50 mm) eluting at 20 mL per min for 1 min with 10% CH3CN/H2O (0.1% TFA) then a linear gradient of 10% CH3CN/H2O (0.1% TFA) to 95% CH3CN/H2O (0.1% TFA) over 8 min and holding at the final concentration for 30 sec. The fractions containing product were filtered through a 2 g Pharmasil CHQAX column (polymer bound ammonium hydroxide; United Chemical Technologies) to remove TFA and concentrated under a stream of nitrogen at 65° C. to give impure title compound, which was repurified on the Agilent MDAP as shown above to give 25 mg of the title compound (70%).
