Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[2-bromo-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-7-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-one (0.051 g, 0.12 mmol), phenol (0.017 g, 0.18 mmol), potassium phosphate (0.056 g, 0.26 mmol), 2-di-tert-butylphosphino-2′-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (0.0041 g, 0.012 mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (0.002 g, 0.009 mmol) in 1 mL of toluene was stirred at 100° C. for 13 h, then at 150° C. for 4 h. The resulting dark orange mixture was partitioned between 10 mL of ethyl acetate and 10 mL of water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to an orange oil. Column chromatography (0-20% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded 0.032 g (62%) of impure 2,2-dimethyl-1-[2-phenoxy-5-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazin-7-yl]-propan-1-one as a yellow oil, which was used without further purification.
