Diisopropylethylamine → 4-(Benzyloxy)-6-(6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)pyridin-2-yl)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(benzyloxy)-6-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)quinoline (1.0 equiv.), 2,6 difluorophenylboronic acid (3.0 equiv.), diisopropylethylamine (3.0 equiv) and tetrakis(triphenylphospine)palladium (0.1 equiv.) in 1:1 toluene/ethanol was heated in a microwave at 120° C. for 20 minutes. Upon cooling, the solution was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. Upon separation, the organic layer was washed with NaCl(sat.), dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (60-75 EtOAc/hexanes eluant) to yield 4-(benzyloxy)-6-(6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)pyridin-2-yl)quinoline (74%). LC/MS=425.1 (M+H), LC=3.59 min.
