Potassium Carbonate → 4-(7-Chloro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask add 7-chloro-3-iodo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (3.0 g, 0.011 mol), add 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)aniline (2.6 g, 1.1 equiv.), potassium carbonate (4.5 g, 3 equiv.), dioxane (40 mL), and water (20 mL). Deoxygenate this mixture thoroughly with N2 then add dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) (0.23 g, 0.03 equiv.) and reflux the reaction overnight under N2. 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 plug (EtOAc to 5% MeOH: DCM to 10% MeOH: DCM) to give a pale grey solid (2.6 g, 100%). MS (ES), m/z 244 (M+1).
