Sodium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 4-phenylpyridin-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (340 mg, 0.29 mmol, 0.050 equiv) was added to a deoxygenated mixture of tert-butyl 4-iodopyridin-2-ylcarbamate (1-1, 1.87 g, 5.84 mmol, 1 equiv), phenyl boronic acid (1.07 g, 8.76 mmol, 1.50 equiv), and aqueous saturated sodium carbonate solution (2.0 M, 8.8 mL, 18 mmol, 3.0 equiv) in dioxane (50 mL), and the resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled then concentrated. The residue was partitioned between half-saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL) and EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (dichloromethane, initially, grading to 40% EtOAc in dichloromethane) to give tert-butyl 4-phenylpyridin-2-ylcarbamate (1-2) as an off-white solid. LRMS m/z (M+H) Calcd: 214.3 (minus t-Bu), 171.3 (minus Boc); found 215.0 and 171.0.
