Sodium hydride → (R)-tert-butyl 3-(6-bromo-9-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b;4',3'-d]pyrrol-4-yloxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-tert-butyl 3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (64 mg, 0.32 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.2 mL) was added sodium hydride as 60% dispersion in mineral oil (13 mg, 0.32 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 5 minutes before a mixture of 6-bromo-4-chloro-9-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b;4′,3′-d]pyrrole with 6-bromo-2-chloro-9-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-9H-dipyrido[2,3-b;4′,3′-d]pyrrole (4:1, 60 mg, 0.1 mmol) was added in one portion, and the reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for 10 minutes before being warmed to 40° C. for 2 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was then diluted with water (20 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated in vacuo, and purified flash chromatography (silica, 4 g, ISCO, 0-65% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford the title compound as a colorless oil, which was used in the next step without any further purification (60 mg, 70%).
