Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(5-chloro-2-ethoxy-3-iodo-4-methylphenyl)ethanone (0.69 g, 2.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamide (0.68 g, 2.4 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL), potassium carbonate (0.56 g, 4.1 mmol) in water (3 mL, 200 mmol) was added. The reaction was bubbled with N2. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.24 g, 0.20 mmol) was added and N2 was bubbled. Reaction was stirred overnight at 95° C. The reaction was diluted with water, extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified on silica gel (eluting with 0 to 90% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the desired product (0.6 g, 82%). LCMS calculated for C19H22ClN2O3 (M+H)+: m/z=361.1; Found: 361.0.
