Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-N-isopropylthiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-amine (0.24 g, 1.05 mmol, 1.0 eq.), Pd(OAc)2 (0.0313 g, 0.139 mmol, 0.1 eq.), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (0.0443 g, 0.107 mmol, 0.1 eq.) and K2CO3 (0.2214 g, 1.60 mmol, 1.5 eq.) in MeOH (2.6 mL) and DMF (1.3 mL) was stirred under an atmosphere of CO inside a bomb (40 psi) at 91° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and rinsed with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with EtOAc and water. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with brine and 10% aqueous LiCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with CH2Cl2:MeOH (10:0.3) to give methyl 2-(isopropylamino)thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylate as a white solid (0.081 g, 31% yield).
