Reaction Steps

Benzyl 3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1-tosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-ylcarbamate(0.50 g, 0.91 mmol) in toluene/ethanol (7.5 mL: 2.0 mL) was treated with 4-chloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (0.186 g, 1.00 mmol, 1.1 Eq) and 2M aqueous potassium carbonate (1.37 mL, 2.74 mmol, 3.0 Eq), degassed and stirred under nitrogen for 20 minutes. Pd(dppf)2Cl2 (0.075 g, 0.1 Eq) was added and the mixture allowed to heat at 100° c for 1.5 hours. The reaction was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate and the organic layer separated, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The mixture was purified by column chromatography eluting with 10% EtOAc/Petroleum ether to yield a white solid (0.219 g, 42%).
