A mild and robust method for the large-scale palladium-catalysed cyanation of aryl bromides has been developed. The reaction is sensitive to cyanide poisoning of the catalyst, and it was found that the order of adding the reagents had a strong impact on the performance of the reaction. Addition of the cyanide source to a preheated mixture of the other reagents was critical for achieving a robust and scaleable process. This improved protocol allowed the reaction to be run to full conversion within 3 h at 50 °C on a 6.7 kg scale. Furthermore, it led to the identification of several new efficient catalysts for the reaction.

Synthesis of 2-Hydroxy-3-[5-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl] lH-indole-5-carbonitrile citrate
Example 14
2-Hydroxy-3-r5-(moφholin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl1 lH-indole-5-carbonitrile citrate salt 2-Hydroxy-3-[5-(moφholin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl] lH-indole-5-carbonitrile (5.14 kg, 15.4 mol) was suspended in ethanol (54 L) at room temperature. The suspension was heated to an inner temperature of 70⁰C and a solution of citric acid (3.424 kg, 17.82 mol, 1.300 eq)) in water (103 L) was added keeping the inner temperature above 65⁰C. The mixture was heated to reflux. After this the resulting solution was mixed with activated charcoal (0.412 kg) and reflux continued for 3.5 h after which the reaction mixture was clear filtered at 83⁰C followed by cooling to room temperature over 20 h. After filtration the precipitate was washed twice with a cold mixture of ethanol/water (6.9 L/13.7 L). Drying under vacuum at 5O⁰C gave 6.648 kg, 82.2% yield of 2-hydroxy-3-[5-(morpholin- 4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl]lH-indole-5-carbonitrile citrate having a purity of at least 98%. The palladium content was less than 1 ppm and the zinc content was lower than 10 ppm. ¹H NMR (Jd-DMSO₃ 400 MHz) δ 14.7 (br s, 1 H), 11.55 (s, 1 H), 10.98 (s, IH), 8.31 (s, 1 H), 8.08 (br d, J= 1.84Hz, IH), 8.02 (s, IH), 7.90 (br d, J = 8.92Hz, 1 H), 7.31 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.02 (d, J= 8.0Hz), 4.28 (s, 2 H), 3.97 (m, 2 H), 3.94 (m, 2H), 3.35 (m, 9H), 3.32 (m, 2H) ppm; ¹³C NMR (d6-DMSO, 400MHz) δ 168.9, 148.5, 142.7, 139.8, 137.5,126.4, 124.9, 124.8, 120.9, 119.4, 118.4, 113.3, 109.0, 101.6, 85.7, 63.1, 55.5, 50.3, 40.1, 39.9, 39.7, 39.2, 39.0, 38.8ppm; MS (ES) m/z [M⁺+l] 335.
