Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-2-bromo-5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine (0.10 g, 0.31 mmol, from Example 62, Step 2) and 2-(tributylstannyl)-1,3-thiazole (0.12 g, 0.31 mmol, Aldrich) in toluene (6.0 mL) was degassed by a stream of nitrogen through the solution. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (36 mg, 0.031 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 110° C. for 4 hours. Toluene was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in MeCN, filtered, and purified via preparative HPLC-MS (C18 eluting with a gradient of MeCN and H2O containing 0.15% NH4OH). Yield: (33 mg, 32%).
