Tetrahydrofuran → 5-Chloro-3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 250 ml round bottom flask was charged with 5-chloro-3-iodo-pyridin-2-ylamine (1) (42 g, 165 mmol), THF (100 ml), copper iodide (315 mg, 1.65 mmol) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (1.15 g, 1.65 mmol) under nitrogen. Triethylamine (70 ml, 0.5 mol), and trimethylsilyl acetylene (30 ml, 0.21 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. and diethyl ether was added. The suspension was filtered through a celite and thoroughly washed with diethyl ether. The filtrate was concentrated and pre-absorbed onto silica gel and purified by column chromatography using as eluent, pentane/DCM 10% to 100%, to afford an off white solid (36 g, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 0.3 (9H, s), 5.0-5.1 (2H, brs), 7.6 (1H, s), 7.9 (1H, s). MS (ES+): 225, 227.
