Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 3-chloro-5-(dihydroxyboryl)-1-(4-cyclopentoxyphenyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (see step (b) above; 214 mg, 0.5 mmol), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 5-chloropyrid-2-yl ester (see step (c) above; 130.0 mg, 0.5 mmol) and K3PO4 (200 mg, 0.95 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) under argon at room temperature was added a mixture of Pd(OAc)2 (23.0 mg, 0.1 mmol) and tricyclohexylphosphine (34 mg, 0.12 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h, diluted with Et2O (10 mL), washed with brine and dried (Na2SO4). Concentration and purification by chromatography afforded the sub-title product (100 mg, 40%).
