Reaction Steps

Step 2 A mixture of 3,5-dibromo-4-methylpyridine (2.00 g, 7.97 mmol), 6-methylisoindolin-1-one (1.173 g, 7.97 mmol), copper (I) iodide (0.076 g, 0.399 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.203 g, 15.94 mmol) and N1,N2-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (0.070 g, 0.797 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 15 h. The mixture was cooled to rt, filtered through Celite and washed with DCM. The filtrate was diluted with DCM (100 mL) and washed with water (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), then was dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluting with a gradient from 80:20 hexane-EtOAc to EtOAc) to give 2-(5-bromo-4-methylpyridin-3-yl)-5-methylisoindolin-1-one (760 mg, 30%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ 8.68 (1H, s), 8.42 (1H, s), 7.84 (1H, d, J=7.77 Hz), 7.37 (1H, d, J=7.77 Hz), 7.34 (1H, s), 4.73 (2H, s), 2.50 (3H, s), 2.35 (3H, s). Mass spectrum m/z 317, 319 (M+H)+.
