Triethylamine → 5-(2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound is synthesized according to general procedure GP2 starting from 5.0 g (28.9 mmol) 5-bromo-2-amino-pyridine and 5.7 mL (40.5 mmol) 1-trimethylsilyl-ethyne using 168 mg (0.88 mmol) CuI, 758 mg (2.9 mmol) triphenylphosphine, 533 mg (0.76 mmol) PdCl2(PPh3)2 and 40 mL (288 mmol) triethylamine in 40 mL dry THF. For the work-up the reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and small amounts of cyclohexane, the organic phase is extracted with water and brine. The product is purified by chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (10/1 v/v). Yield: 5.0 g (91%).
