2-Bromopyridine → HCID 21620216, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask add 7-chloro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (0.25 g, 1.6 mmol), tricyclohexylphosphine (55 mg, 0.12 equiv.), potassium acetate (0.24 g, 1.5 equiv.), bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.46 g, 1.1 equiv.) and dioxane (10 mL). Deoxygenate this mixture thoroughly with N2 then add tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (75 mg, 0.05 equiv.) and heat the reaction to 80° C. overnight under N2. Filter the reaction thru Celite® and wash with DCM then concentrate to dryness. To this residue, add 2-bromopyridine (0.14 mL, 1.5 mmol), S-Phos (75 mg, 0.125 equiv.), potassium phosphate (0.62 g, 2 equiv.), dioxane (10 mL), and water (5 mL). Deoxygenate this mixture thoroughly with N2, add palladium (II) acetate (16 mg, 0.05 equiv.), and reflux the reaction overnight. Concentrate the reaction to dryness and slurry in DCM. Filter this slurry thru Celite® and wash with DCM. Concentrate the filtrate then purify by silica column (EtOAc to 5% MeOH: DCM) to give a residue (0.325 g, >100%). MS (ES), m/z 196 (M+1).
