Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromopyridine (7.8 g, 49.4 mmol), 1-ter-butoxycarbonylpiperazine (9.2 g, 49.4 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (286 mg, 0.247 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (11.1 g, 98.8 mmol) and anhydrous toluene (100 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 0.5 hours. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (75 ml). Chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane, methanol and conc. ammonia (89:10:1) gave the title compound as an oil. Yield 1.34 g, 10%.
