Therefore the authors investigated the reaction <strong>of</strong> 5-bromoindole 12 <strong>and</strong> 2-(2,2dimethylpropionylamino)phenyl<br />

boronic acid [18] 14 (Scheme 4). Using Pd(PPh3)4<br />

as catalyst system <strong>and</strong> 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution or Na2CO3 as base in<br />

DME, the corresponding diaryl compound 17 is formed in 66% yield. Because <strong>of</strong><br />

problems in the deprotection <strong>of</strong> the pivaloyl- protecting group, the authors also<br />

performed the cross coupling <strong>of</strong> 12 with the N-Boc-protected 2-aniline boronic acid<br />

15 under the same conditions with a yield <strong>of</strong> 55%. They got higher yields <strong>of</strong> the<br />

same coupling product, using 1H-indole boronic acid 13 with N-Boc-protected 2bromoaniline<br />

16 (66%).<br />
