Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole (300 mg), 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2-(triisopropylsilyl)oxazole (422 mg), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (131 mg) and potassium carbonate (314 mg) in DME/water (3/0.5 mL) was stirred with microwave irradiation at 120° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in THF (5 mL), 1N hydrochloric acid (2 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (174 mg).
