1,2-Dimethoxyethane → Methyl 2-[3-[[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]methyl]-4-pyridinyl]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane were aerated with argon, and 230 mg (0.2 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4 and 0.86 g (4 mmol) of methyl 2-bromobenzoate were added. After 10 min, 1.51 g (6 mmol) of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)pyridine-4-boronic acid and finally 4 ml of a 2M sodium carbonate solution were added. The mixture was heated to reflux under argon for 13 h, diluted with dichloromethane after cooling and washed with water. The organic phase was dried, concentrated and purified by chromatography on silica gel. 1.15 g (84%) of a viscous pale yellow oil were obtained. MS (ES+): m/z=343 (M+1).
