The mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with DCM and water. The pH was adjusted to 8-9 with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCOs. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM twice. The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, fdtered, and concentrated. The residue was directly used for the next step without any further purification. Methyl 4-(l,2-benzothiazole-3-amido)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]- 7-oxo-5Zf,6Zf,7ZZ-pyrrolo[3,4-6]pyridine-2-carboxylate

A-Methylimidazole (53.7 uL, 0.675 mmol) was added, followed by tetramethylchloroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate (64.9 mg, 0.231 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and then diluted with DCM and water. The pH was adjusted to 7-8 with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCCh. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4, fdtered, and concentrated. The resulting residue was directly subjected to the subsequent reaction without further purification.

[1054] Step 9: According to the procedures of Example 37, Step 7, methyl 4-(1,2-benzothiazole-3-amido)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-7-oxo-57 / ,6Zf,7 / f-pyrrolo[3,4-6]pyridine-2-carboxylate was converted to methyl 4-(l,2-benzothiazole-3-amido)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-7-oxo-57 / ,6Zf,77 / -pyrrolo[3,4-6]pyridine-2-carboxylate. The residue was purified by normal-phase silica chromatography (0% to 10% MeOH / DCM). The residue was suspended in water and the precipitate filtered. The solid was then dissolved with a mixture of acetonitrile / water and lyophilized to obtain methyl 4-(l,2-benzothiazole-3-amido)-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-7-oxo-5 / f,6Zf,7 / f-pyrrolo[3,4-6]pyridine-2-carboxylate as an off-white powder (4.62 mg, 13% yield over 3 steps).

To the well was added 1 pL of 200 pM ATP and 20 pM of diC8-PIP2 in Substrate Assay Buffer (50 mM HEPES pH7.4, 50mM NaCl, 5mM DTT and 0.03% CHAPS) to start the reaction, and the plate was shaken for 10 seconds, then spun briefly at 1500 rpm, and then incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was stopped by adding 2 pL of ADP-Glo reagent (Promega), and spinning briefly at 1500 rpm, and then incubating for 40 minutes. ADP-Glo Detection reagent (Promega) was added and the plate spun briefly at 1500 rpm, then incubated for 30 minutes.
