Reaction Steps

A 50-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser was charged with 1,4-dioxane (20 mL), 3,5-dibromo-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (1.06 g, 4.0 mmol), pyridine-2,6-diamine (872 mg, 8.0 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (732 mg, 0.80 mmol), XantPhos (462.4 mg, 0.80 mmol), and cesium carbonate (2.6 g, 8.0 mmol). After three cycles of vacuum/argon flush, the mixture was heated at 110° C. for 1 h. After this time the reaction was cooled to room temperature. It was then filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with 20:1 ethyl acetate/methanol to afford 221a (570 mg, 48%) as a white solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 295.0
