Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenylboronic acid (from Example 85/Step 1) (1.0 eq.) and 2-chloro-6-phenethylnicotinonitrile (prepared from (E)-3-chloro-5-styrylpicolinonitrile (from Example 32/Step 1) following the procedure described in Example 114/Step 3) (1.0 eq.), tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (5 mol %), and 2N aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2.0 eq.) in toluene/ethanol (2:1, 0.03 M) was stirred at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and water. The two phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated en vaccuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-60% EtOAc/Hexanes to give methyl 5-amino-2-phenethylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridine-8-carboxylate as a white solid.
