2,2-Dimethylmorpholine → 2,2-Dimethyl-4-(6-morpholino-5-nitropyridin-3-yl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(5-chloro-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)morpholine (850 mg, 3.49 mmol; described herein), 2,2-dimethylmorpholine (480 μL, 4180 μmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(o) (224 mg, 0.244 mmol), 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2,4,6,-tri-i-propyl-1,1-biphenyl (249 mg, 0.523 mmol), sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (671 mg, 6.98 mmol), and toluene (517 mL) was refluxed overnight, then cooled to rt and concentrated. The resulting residue was taken up in EtOAc, washed with satd aq. sodium bicarbonate and brine, then the organic layer dried (magnesium sulfate) and concentrated. Column chromatography afforded 2,2-dimethyl-4-(6-morpholino-5-nitropyridin-3-yl)morpholine as a red solid. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=323.2 (M+1).
