Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-chloro-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine (1.1 g, 06 mmol) in toluene were added tris (dibenzylidene acetone) dipalladium (302 mg, 0.3 mmol), Xantphos (0.286 g, 0.49 mmol), cesium carbonate (4.3 g, 13.2 mmol), and cyclopropanecarboxamide (0.842 g, 9 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to 110° C. and stirred for about 4 hours. The reaction mixture cooled to room temperature diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel (100-200) column chromatography to afford N-(2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-7-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (0.45 g, 40% yield).
