Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromopyridine (3.95 g, 25.0 mmol), 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-homopiperazine (5.0 g, 25.0 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (145 mg, 0.125 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (6.1 g, 50.0 mmol) and anhydrous toluene (75 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hours. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (50 ml). Chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane, methanol and conc. ammonia (89:10:1) gave the title compound as an oil. Yield 0.92 g, 13%.
