Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions, their preparation and use in the treatment of diseases or conditions, such as cancer, in particular ataxia telangiectasia and diseases or conditions (e.g. cancer) that depend on the activity of RAD3-related protein (ATR) kinase. [Background technology]
[0002] DNA damage occurs continuously in cells as a result of environmental insults, including UV radiation, X-rays, and endogenous stressors such as reactive oxygen species and base hydrolysis. Cancer cells suffer frequent DNA damage, essentially induced by the high frequency of DNA replication in cells. Several DNA damage response (DDR) pathways have evolved in a highly systematic way to help repair DNA damage and act as cellular checkpoints that halt replication of cells with damaged DNA, thereby allowing repair functions to occur before the damaged DNA is inherited by daughter cells. Each of the identified DNA repair pathways senses and repairs different but overlapping types of DNA damage.
[0003] One of the major DDR proteins that functions as a key cell cycle checkpoint is the ataxia telangiectasia mutated and rad3-related (ATR) kinase, which is related to the family of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-related protein kinases (PIKKs). ATR is activated by single-stranded (ss) DNA damage occurring at stalled replication forks or during nucleotide excision repair, but also by double-stranded breaks following DNA end resection during homologous recombination. ATR, together with a cofactor called ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP), is recruited to the site of DNA damage by binding to RPA proteins that coat ssDNA. The ATR / ATRIP complex is then activated by the recruitment of additional factors in the 9-1-1 complex (RAD9, RAD1, and HUS1). The 9-1-1 complex represents a critical step for the activation of downstream phosphorylation cascades that recruit the subsequent TOPBP1 protein and result in cell cycle arrest. The primary target of the ATR kinase is CHK1, which upon phosphorylation targets both the cdc25 protein and Wee1, leading to inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase activity and cell cycle arrest at S phase or G2 / M.
[0004] ATR has been identified as an important cancer target because it is essential for cell division. ATR-deficient mice are embryonic lethal, but adult mice with conditional ATR knockouts are viable due to their effects in rapidly proliferating tissues and stem cell populations. ATR-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells divide only 1–2 times before dying, suggesting that ATR is required for the maintenance of dividing cells. Interestingly, mice carrying a hypomorphic ATR mutation that reduces ATR expression to 10% of normal levels showed reduced H-rasG12D-induced tumor growth with minimal effects on proliferating normal cells such as bone marrow or intestinal epithelial cells. Thus, cancer cells with high levels of replication stress due to oncogenic mutations, dysfunctional G1 / S checkpoint control (e.g., loss of p53 function), defects in other DNA repair pathways (e.g., ATM), or defects affected by DNA damaging agents (e.g., radiation therapy or chemotherapeutic agents) are more dependent on ATR for DNA repair and survival. Collectively, these results strengthen the rationale for the selective sensitivity of proliferating tumor cells to ATR inhibition and the possibility of a therapeutic window spanning healthy proliferating cells.

Commercially available 4-cyano-7-azaindole can be hydrolyzed to the acid and esterified under standard conditions. Regiospecific chlorination at the 6-position can be achieved by oxidation of the 7-aza with an oxidizing agent, e.g., mCPBA, followed by chlorination with mesyl chloride. The indole nitrogen can be protected with a suitable protecting group (PG), e.g., SEM or THP. The 6-chloro can be optionally catalyzed by palladium(0) or copper(I) catalysis. NThe ester can then be derivatized by reduction to the alcohol with a suitable reducing agent, e.g., LiBH4 or DIBAL-H, activated by forming a mesylate or iodine group, and displaced with sodium methanesulfinate to form a methylsulfone. Cyclopropanation of the benzylic position can be carried out using dibromoethane in the presence of a base and a phase transfer catalyst. Deprotection of the azaindole then gives the key intermediate, which can be converted to the appropriate aryl or heteroaryl iodide (R 3 -I) to produce the compounds of the invention. 3 In the case where the aryl group has a substituent, a deprotection step using acid, base, and / or fluoride conditions may be required to obtain the compounds of the invention.

[0421] The method of the present invention can include a step of identifying a subject as a candidate for ATR inhibitor therapy.For example, a subject can be identified as a candidate for ATR inhibitor therapy by determining whether (i) the subject has cancer associated with a defect in ATM signaling cascade; (ii) the subject has cancer, cancer cells, or cells with genetic abnormal expression of cancer-promoting genes or cancer genes; (iii) the subject has cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more defects in proteins or genes involved in base excision repair; (iv) the subject has cancer with defects in proteins or genes involved in homologous recombination; (v) the subject has cancer with defects in proteins or genes involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors or genetic perturbation of ATR; or (vi) the subject has cancer with gene or protein characteristics involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors.
[0422] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancers associated with abnormalities in ATM signaling cascade. For example, abnormalities in ATM signaling cascade can be, for example, changes in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including but not limited to, ATM, p53, CHK2, MRE11, RAD50, NBS1, 53BP1, MDC1, H2AX, MCPH1 / BRIT1, CTIP, and SMC1. Abnormalities in ATM signaling can be identified as follows: A 20% or greater change in the phosphorylation of CHK2 can be indicative of abnormalities in ATM signaling cascade. Alternatively, abrogation of cell arrest in G1 and S phases of the cell cycle in response to double-stranded DNA breaks can be indicative of abnormalities in ATM signaling cascade.
[0423] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with abnormal expression of cancer-promoting proteins or cancer genes. For example, cancer cells can have genetic abnormalities that cause changes in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes: KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, MYC, MOS, E2F, CDC25A, CDC4, CDK2, CCNE1, CCNA1, DNAPK, APOBEC3, CDC6, and RB1, but are not limited thereto.
[0424] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in base excision repair.For example, abnormalities in base excision repair proteins can be altered expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including but not limited to UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, OGG1, MYH, NTH1, MPG, NEIL1, NEIL2, NEIL3 (DNA glycosylase); APE1, APEX2 (AP endonuclease); LIG1, LIG3 (DNA ligase I and III); XRCC1 (LIG3 cofactor); PNK, PNKP (polynucleotide kinase and phosphatase); PARP1, PARP2 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase); PolB, PolG (polymerase); FEN1 (endonuclease) or aprataxin.
[0425] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in homologous recombination. For example, the abnormality in homologous recombination can be an alteration in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including but not limited to BRCA1, BRCA2, MRE11, RAD50, RAD51, RAD52, RAD54L, NBN, ATM, H2AX, PALB2, RPA, BRIP1, BARD1, ATR, ATRX, CHK1, CHK2, MDM2, MDM4, FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.
[0426] The described compounds, compositions, and methods can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors or genetic perturbation of the ATR signaling pathway. For example, the abnormality in a gene involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors or genetic perturbation of ATR can be an alteration in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes: ATR, CHK1, ERCC1, ERCC2, RAD17, RAD1, RAD9A, ERCC4, ATM, FANCE, GCP3, IDH1, PALB2, PMS2, ARID1A, SLX4, MSH4, RRM2, POLA, POLD1, RRM1, WEE1, CLSPN, PGBD5, XRCC1, XRCC3, XRCC5, KDM5D, CDC6, SLFN11, TLK1, and TLK2.
[0427] There are many methods known in the art to determine whether tumors have abnormalities in proteins or genes. For example, tumor samples can be sequenced for each designated gene (e.g., UNG, PARP1, or LIG1, etc.) either genomic DNA or mRNA product to determine whether there is a mutation that is predicted to regulate the function or expression of the gene product. In addition to mutational inactivation, tumor cells can regulate genes to reduce gene expression by hypermethylating their promoter regions. This is most commonly assessed using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to quantify the methylation level of the promoter of the base excision repair gene of interest. Analysis of DNA repair gene promoter methylation is commercially available.
[0428] Gene expression levels can be assessed by directly quantifying the levels of each gene's mRNA and protein products using standard techniques, such as quantitative reverse transcriptase-linked polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), RNA-Seq gene expression analysis, and immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for protein expression. Gene amplification leading to aberrant overexpression or deletion leading to underexpression of protein (respectively) can also be measured by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis using probes specific for the gene of interest.
[0429] The methods described above (gene sequence, promoter methylation, and mRNA expression) can also be used to characterize the status (e.g., expression or mutation) of other genes or proteins of interest, such as DNA damaging oncogenes expressed in tumors or due to defects in cellular DNA repair pathways.
[0430] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects suffering from cancers with genetic characteristics that are associated with sensitivity to ATR inhibitors. In some embodiments, the genetic characteristics are one or more of the following: cell transformation in the absence of HTERT and / or ATRX mRNA or protein expression, the presence of C-circle or partial double-stranded and circular extrachromosomal telomeric repeats (ECTR), the presence of telomeres of different lengths, and cells with selective elongation of telomeres (ALT), characterized by positive staining indicating the presence of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (APBs).
[0431] There are several methods to determine ALT characteristics in cells. Non-limiting examples of these methods include: HTERT and ATRX expression can be measured by Western blot, immunohistochemical staining (IHC), or mRNA expression (qRT-PCR) assay. The presence of C-rings can be measured by PCR assay, and the presence of telomeres of different lengths can be measured by telomere restriction fragment analysis (TRF), which uses terminal restriction fragment length distribution to measure the heterogeneity of the telomere length range of a cell population. Staining for the presence of APB can be performed by co-staining with probes for telomeric DNA and PML protein using IHC.

Other exemplary excipients are described in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th Edition, Rowe et al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Press (2009).
[0437] These pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared in a conventional manner, for example by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, pulverizing, emulsifying, encapsulating, encapsulating, or lyophilizing processes. Preparation methods for preparation of formulations well known in the art are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and JC Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York. The appropriate formulation depends on the selected route of administration. The formulation and preparation of such compositions are well known to those skilled in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. When preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to a suitable particle size before being combined with other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water-soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to, for example, about 40 mesh, so that it is more or less uniformly distributed in the formulation.
[0438] Dosage The dosage of the compound used in the methods described herein, or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or prodrug, or its pharmaceutical composition, may vary depending on many factors, such as the pharmacodynamic properties of the compound; the method of administration; the age, health, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the frequency of treatment, and the type of concurrent treatment, if applicable; and the clearance rate of the compound in the treated animal. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate dosage based on the above factors. The compound used in the methods described herein can be administered at an appropriate dosage initially, and the dosage can be adjusted as necessary depending on the clinical response. In general, the appropriate daily dose of the compound of the present invention will be the amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally vary depending on the above factors.
[0439] The compounds of the present invention can be administered to a patient in a single dose or multiple doses. When multiple doses are administered, each dose may be separated from each other, for example, by 1-24 hours, 1-7 days, 1-4 weeks, or 1-12 months. The compounds can be administered according to a schedule or without a fixed schedule. The active compounds can be administered, for example, once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times, eight times, nine times, ten times, eleven times, or twelve times daily, every second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth day, once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, or seven times weekly, once, twice, three times, four times, five times, or six times monthly, or once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times, eight times, nine times, ten times, eleven times, or twelve times annually. It should be understood that specific dosage regimens for a particular subject will need to be adjusted over time according to the individual in need and according to the professional judgment of the individual administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.
[0440] Although the appropriate amount and dosing regimen will ultimately be determined by the attending physician, an effective amount of the compound of the present invention can be, for example, a total daily dose, e.g., 0.05 mg to 3000 mg of any of the compounds described herein. Alternatively, the dose can be calculated using the patient's body weight. Such dose ranges can include, for example, 10 to 1000 mg (e.g., 50 to 800 mg). In some embodiments, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, or 1000 mg of the compound is administered.
[0441] In the methods of the invention, the duration of administration of multiple doses of the compound of the invention to the patient can vary. For example, in some embodiments, doses of the compound of the invention are administered to the patient over a period that is 1-7 days; 1-12 weeks; or 1-3 months. In some embodiments, the compound is administered to the patient over a period that is, for example, 4-11 months or 1-30 years. In some embodiments, the compound is administered to the patient at the onset of symptoms. In any of these embodiments, the amount of compound administered may vary over the administration period. If the compound is administered daily, it may be administered, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 times daily.
[0442] formulation Using any of the methods described herein, a compound identified as capable of treating any of the conditions described herein can be administered to a patient or animal in unit dosage form together with a pharma- ceutically acceptable diluent, carrier, or excipient. Chemical compounds for use in such therapy can be prepared and isolated by any standard technique known to those skilled in the art of medicinal chemistry. Conventional pharmaceutical practice can be used to provide suitable formulations or compositions for administering the identified compound to a patient suffering from a disease or condition. Administration may begin before the patient exhibits symptoms.
[0443] Exemplary routes of administration of the compounds (e.g., compounds of the present invention) or pharmaceutical compositions thereof used in the present invention include oral, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, intradermal, intramuscular, parenteral, intravenous, intraarterial, intracranial, subcutaneous, intraorbital, intraventricular, intraspinal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, inhalation, and topical administration.

Pharmaceutical formulations of the compounds described herein, formulated for treating the disorders described herein, are also part of the present invention.
[0444] Oral Formulations Pharmaceutical compositions contemplated by the present invention include those formulated for oral administration ("oral dosage forms"). Oral dosage forms can be, for example, in the form of tablets, capsules, liquids or suspensions, powders, or liquid crystals or solid crystals, which contain the active ingredient(s) in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Such excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugar, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binders (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricants, glidants, and antiadherents (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silica, hydrogenated vegetable oil, or talc). Other pharma- ceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.
[0445] Formulations for oral administration may also be present as chewable tablets, hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin), or soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, e.g., peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granules, and pellets can be prepared in a conventional manner, for example, using a mixer, fluid bed equipment, or spray drying equipment, using the ingredients mentioned above for tablets and capsules.
[0446] Controlled release compositions for oral use can be constructed to release the active drug by controlling the dissolution and / or diffusion of the active drug substance. Any of several means can be used to obtain controlled release and a targeted plasma concentration versus time profile. In one example, controlled release is obtained by appropriate selection of various formulation parameters and ingredients, including, for example, various types of controlled release compositions and coatings. Examples include single or multiple unit tablet or capsule compositions, oils, suspensions, emulsions, microcapsules, microspheres, nanoparticles, patches, and liposomes. In some embodiments, the composition includes a biodegradable, pH, and / or temperature sensitive polymer coating.
[0447] Dissolution or diffusion controlled release can be achieved by suitable coating of the compound tablets, capsules, pellets, or granules, or by incorporating the compound into a suitable matrix. Controlled release coatings can include one or more of the coating materials mentioned above, and / or, for example, shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethyl cellulose, acrylic resins, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxymethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogel, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, and / or polyethylene glycol. In controlled release matrix formulations, the matrix material may also include, for example, hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or halogenated fluorocarbons.

[0449] Parenteral Formulations The compounds described herein for use in the methods of the present invention can be administered in pharma- ceutically acceptable parenteral (e.g., intravenous or intramuscular) formulations described herein. Pharmaceutical preparations can also be administered parenterally (intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, etc.) in dosage forms or formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharma- ceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants. In particular, formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and nonaqueous sterile injection solutions that may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the preparation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, as well as aqueous and nonaqueous sterile suspensions that may contain suspending agents and thickening agents. For example, to prepare such compositions, the compounds of the present invention can be dissolved or suspended in a parenterally acceptable liquid vehicle. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used are water, water adjusted to an appropriate pH with an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, or a suitable buffer, 1,3-butanediol, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Aqueous formulations can also contain one or more preservatives, such as methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate.

EXAMPLES
[0467] The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention. They are not meant to limit the invention in any way. Example 1. Preparation of Compounds compound 1 Step 1. A suspension of 4-chloro-7-azaindole (25 g) in DMA (140 mL) was purged with vacuum / N2 gas (3 cycles). Zinc powder (1.07 g), zinc cyanide (11.26 g), dppf (2.72 g), and Pd2(dba)3 (2.39 g) were then added. The mixture was purged again with vacuum / N2 gas (3 cycles) and heated to 120° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 100° C. and water (428 mL) was added over 30 min. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature over 2 h. The crude product was filtered and washed with water (2×95 mL) before being added to 3N HCl (150 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Insoluble material was removed by filtration. 50% aqueous NaOH was added to the filtrate until a pH of 12 was reached. Filtration and drying gave 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (11.6 g) as a tan solid.
[0468] Step 2. A mixture of 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (10.4 g) and NaOH (29 g) in water (100 mL) and EtOH (100 mL) was heated to reflux for 18 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was treated with concentrated HCl to a pH of about 2. The solid was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum to give 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (11.8 g) as a tan solid.
[0469] Step 3. Thionyl chloride (12.4 mL) was added dropwise to EtOH (120 mL) at 0°C. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (12.0 g) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 8 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was suspended in water (150 mL) and the pH was adjusted to pH 9 with saturated aqueous K2CO3. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 150 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness to give ethyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (10.5 g) as a tan solid.
[0470] Step 4. To a mixture of ethyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (9.5 g) in EtOAc (95 mL) was added mCPBA (15.5 g) portionwise at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. The precipitate was filtered, washed with EtOAc (3×30 mL) and the residue was dried under high vacuum to give 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine 7-oxide (8.8 g) as a pale yellow solid.
[0471] Step 5. To a solution of 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-oxide (25.5 g) in DMF (250 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (11.5 mL) dropwise. The mixture was then heated to 80° C. for 1 h, then cooled to room temperature, and additional methanesulfonyl chloride (11.5 mL) was added. Again, the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 1 h. After cooling to 0° C., the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (480 mL) with vigorous stirring. The mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. The precipitate was filtered and washed with water (3×200 mL). The residue was dried under high vacuum to give ethyl 6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (25.0 g) as a beige solid, which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
[0472] Step 6. To a solution of ethyl 6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (25 g) in DMF (250 mL) at 0° C., NaH (6.68 g) was added over 45 min, followed by stirring at 0° C. for 1 h. SEM-Cl (23.6 mL) was added over 20 min, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. Water (300 mL) was added slowly, and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×200 mL), then washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (15-30% EtOAc / hexanes) to give ethyl 6-chloro-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (32.4 g) as an orange oil.
[0473] Step 7. To a solution of ethyl 6-chloro-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (32.3 g) in toluene (150 mL) was added (R)-3-methylmorpholine (12.4 mL), BINAP (3.4 g), and cesium carbonate (89 g).
