Water → 3-{[4-(1-Methylethyl)phenyl]ethynyl}pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)dichloride (0.811 g), 3-bromopyridin-2-amine (2 g), 1-ethynyl-4-isopropylbenzene (1.667 g) and copper iodide (I) (0.22 g) in triethylamine (38.6 mL) was heated under reflux. Water was added to the reaction mixture, the mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (1273 mg) as a pale-yellow solid.
