Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Copper(I) iodide (0.507 g) was added to a mixture of picolinic acid (0.328 g), 4-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)phenol (2.48 g), tripotassium phosphate (8.48 g), 1-iodo-4-methylbenzene (3.19 g) and DMSO (150 ml). The mixture was stirred at 130° C. under nitrogen for 4.5 hr. The insoluble solid was removed by filtration through NH-silica gel/Celite pad (eluted with EtOAc). Water was added and the mixture was extracted. The extracted organic layer was washed with brine. Silica-gel was added to the organic phase and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The mixture supported on silica-gel was purified by column chromatography (NH-silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexane) to give the title compound (2.17 g) as a yellow solid.
