Diisopropylethylamine → Ethyl 3-{[6-(acetylamino)pyridin-3-yl]ethynyl}-4-methylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-iodo-4-methylbenzoate (845 mg, 2.9 mmol, 0.8 eq), N-(5-ethynylpyridin-2-yl)acetamide (3.5 mmol, 1.0 eq). Pd(PPh3)4 (51 mg, 0.044 mmol), CuI (20.4 mg, 0.11 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.8 ml, 4.4 mmol) in 2 ml of DMF is heated at 55° C. (oil bath) for 1 hr under nitrogen. After cooling to r.t., the solvent is evaporated and DCM is added to dissolve the residue. The solution is washed with water and brine, dried and evaporated and the crude material is chromatographed with CombiFlash (DCM/MeOH).
