Sodium Carbonate → Methyl 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(8-quinolinyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl-3-bromo-5-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]benzoate (XLVIII, 200 mg, 0.58 mmol), 8-quinolineboronic acid (200.6 mg, 1.2 mmol), sodium carbonate (870 Micro Liter of a 2 M mixture in water, 1.74 mmol) in toluene (6 mL) is degassed under reduced pressure for 15 minutes and purged with argon. Palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (139 mg, 0.12 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture is degassed under reduced pressure for 15 minutes and purged with argon. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux overnight, cooled to 20–25 degrees C. and diluted with chloroform. The organic phase is separated and washed with water (3×50 mL), and saline, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica, ethyl acetate/hexanes, 1.3/1) gives methyl 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(8-quinolinyl)benzoate (XLIX, 176 mg), NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): delta 8.91, 8.42, 8.21, 8.09, 7.95, 7.86, 7.77, 7.64, 3.94, 3.49, 3.34, 1.64, 0.99 and 0.84.
