Participants

Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 5-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)acetyl]amino]-N,N-diethyl-6-(2-propenylamino)-3-pyridinecarboxamide (1.04 g, 2.53 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) at room temperature was added palladium tetrakis (117 mg, 0.10 mmol), followed by acetic acid (580 μL, 10.14 mmol) and phenyl silane (625 μL, 5.07 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 6 hours. The reaction was then quenched with NaHCO3 saturated aqueous solution (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL). The aqueous phase was back-extracted with additional dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The organic phases were combined, dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using silica gel flash chromatography ([3% MeOH+1% NH4OHaq] in CH2Cl2) to provide 705 mg of the title compound 6-amino-5-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)acetyl]amino]-N,N-diethyl-3-pyridinecarboxamide (75.2% yield from 5-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)acetyl]amino]-N,N-diethyl-6-(2-propenylamino)-3-pyridinecarboxamide). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.18 (br s, 6H), 1.43 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 3.42 (br s, 4H), 3.69 (s, 2H), 4.04 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 4.73 (s, 2H), 6.91 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.26 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (m, 1H), 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.95 (m, 1H). MS (ESI) (M+H)+: 372.
