Reaction Steps

[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) dichloromethane complex (0.014 g, 0.016 mmol) was added under an argon atmosphere at room temperature to a solution of [(1-(5-bromopyrimidin-2-yl)-3-(methylsulfinyl)-1H-indol-6-yl)(morpholino)methanone (0.15 g, 0.33 mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.093 g, 0.37 mmol) and potassium acetate (0.099 g, 0.99 mmol) in dioxane (6 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 115° C. for 40 min and then cooled to ambient temperature. For the Suzuki coupling, which was also carried out under an inert atmosphere, 2-bromopyridine (0.078 g, 0.49 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.019 g, 0.016 mmol) and 2M potassium carbonate solution (0.5 mL) were added. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2.5 h and then filtered through a plug of celite. The filtrate was concentrated and the resulting residue purified by flash column chromatography [methanol/dichloromethane=1:50] and a subsequent trituration with dichloromethane/hexane (1:2). White solid. Yield: 45 mg (30% of theory)
