Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A sealable tube containing 6-bromo-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (0.10 g, 0.44 mmol), 3-pyridylboronic acid (0.56 g, 4.6 mmol), bis(di-tert-butyl(4-dimethylamino phenyl)phosphine)dichloropalladium(II) (6.3 mg, 8.9 μmol), and potassium carbonate (0.18 g, 1.3 mmol) was flushed with nitrogen before tert-butanol (4.9 mL) and water (0.6 mL) were added. The tube was flushed again with nitrogen, sealed tightly and heated to 100° C. overnight. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature, poured into saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined, washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (0-15% methanol in ethyl acetate) provided the title compound: LCMS m/z 225.27 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.77 (s, 1H), 8.47 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 8.06 (ddd, J=1.7, 2.0, 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (s, 1H), 7.50-7.47 (m, 2H), 6.99 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 3.05 (t, J=7.5, 7.7 Hz, 2H), 2.61 (t, J=7.5, 7.7 Hz, 2H).
