Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)oxy)-1H-pyrrole-1,2(2H,5H)-dicarboxylate (1.55 g, 4.13 mmol), 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine (1.00 g, 4.54 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.239 g, 0.21 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (3.36 g, 10.32 mmol) in THF (10 mL) and water (2 mL) was microwave heated to 100° C. for 10 min. The reaction was then diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (25 mL). The layers were separated and the organics were washed with water (25 mL) and brine (25 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated, then purified by flash chromatography [0-8% methanol/DCM eluent] to provide (S)-1-tert-butyl 2-methyl 4-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrrole-1,2(2H,5H)-dicarboxylate (0.955 g, 72% yield). LCMS (m/z): 320.4 (MH+), 0.50 min.
