Cesium carbonate → 7-(4-Methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-N-[(1S)-1-methylpropyl]pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-7-(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethylpyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine (0.137 g, 0.397 mmol), (S)-(+)-sec-butylamine (0.08 mL, 0.794 mmol), xantphos (0.025 g, 0.04 mmol), Cs2CO3 (0.18 g, 0.55 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (0.018 g, 0.02 mmol) in dioxane (4.0 mL) was refluxed for 17 h. Extra (S)-(+)-sec-butylamine (0.08 mL, 0.794 mmol), xantphos (0.025 g, 0.04 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (0.018 g, 0.02 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture and refluxed for additional 4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness, the residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, 1/10 EtOAc/heptane) to give 0.024 g (18%) of light yellow oil as the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.23 (d, J=11 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (d, J=4 Hz, 1H), 6.83 (dd, J=4, 11 Hz, 1H), 6.29 (br s, 1H), 5.54 (s, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.64–3.56 (m, 1H), 2.32 (s, 3H), 2.16 (s, 3H), 2.11 (s, 3H), 1.77–1.57 (m, 2H), 1.32–1.28 (m, 3H), 1.06–0.99 (m, 3H); MS m/z 338.4 (M++H).
