Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of methyl 2-(5-bromo-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)-2-methylpropanoate (1.2 g, 3.96 mmol), morpholine (0.34 mL, 3.96 mmol), Pd2dba3 (181 mg, 0.20 mmol), XPhos (189 mg, 0.40 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (1.1 g, 11.88 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) was heated at reflux for two h. After this time the reaction was cooled to rt and partitioned between EtOAc (300 mL) and water (100 mL). The separated organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. Column chromatography gave methyl 2-methyl-2-(5-morpholino-3-nitropyridin-2-yl)propanoate as a yellow oil.
