Potassium Carbonate → tert-Butyl 4-({2-[4-(5-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl]propanoyl}amino)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon (in a flask dried by heating), 92 mg (0.20 mmol) of tert-butyl 4-{[2-(4-bromo-5-methoxy-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)propanoyl]amino}benzoate (racemate), 41 mg (0.24 mmol, 1.2 eq.) of 5-chloro-2-methylphenylboronic acid, 84 mg (0.61 mmol, 3.0 eq.) of potassium carbonate and 16 mg (0.02 mmol, 0.1 eq.) of [1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) chloride/dichloromethane monoadduct were suspended in 5.0 ml of dioxane and stirred overnight in an oil bath already preheated to 110° C. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and the residue was washed with dioxane. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with water, filtered off, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure. Yield: 105 mg (purity 91%, 95% of theory)
