Water → 7-Chloro-2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-chloro-2-iodothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (321 mg, 1.0 mmol), 4-(dimethylamino)phenylboronic acid (248 mg, 1.5 mmol) and 58 mgs of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) in 13 mL of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether and 11 mL of aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate is heated at reflux for 6 hours. 4-(dimethylamino)phenylboronic acid (105 mg) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (29 mg) are added and the reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 6 hours. The mixture is treated with water and extracted into dichloromethane and the organic phase is washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography eluting with a gradient of dichloromethane to 2% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane to provide 187 mg (60%) of 7-chloro-2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile as an orange solid, mp 270-272° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.07 (s, 6H), 6.73 (d, J=5 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (s, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=5 Hz, 2H), 8.74 (s, 1H); HRMS found: 314.05127.
