Triethylamine → [4-(2-Methoxy-phenylethynyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-iodo-pyridin-2-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (250.0 mg, 0.781 mmol), 1-ethynyl-2-methoxy-benzene (93.8 mg, 0.710 mmol), CuI (13 mg, 0.071 mmol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (25 mg, 0.036 mmol), and Et3N (9 mL) in dry DMF (3 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 19 hours. The reaction is diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (10 mL). The organic layer is washed with an additional portion of saturated aqueous NH4Cl (10 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified on SiO2 (0-30% ethyl acetate in heptanes, gradient) to give the product.
