Procedure

Zinc(II) chloride (0.34 mL, 1.0 M solution, 0.34 mmol) is added, at room temperature with stirring, to a solution of benzyl magnesium chloride (0.15 mL, 2.0 M solution, 0.31 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL). After 15 min, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (5.4 mg, 0.0076 mmol) is added followed by a solution of 4-[2-(6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazol-3-yl]-quinoline (60 mg 0.153 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred for 18 h at room temperature and quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (1 mL). The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo, filtered, and the residue chromatographed on SiO2 (20-50% acetone/hexanes) to yield the title compound, 33.4 mg (54%), as a white solid.
