Sodium Carbonate → 2-[5-(4-Tert-butyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (778 mg, 2 mmol), 4-tert-butylphenylboronic acid (358 mg, 2 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (232 mg, 0.2 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was added 2 M sodium carbonate solution in water (2 mL). The resulting mixture was subjected to microwave irradiation for 1 h at 110° C. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL×2), brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-[5-(4-tert-butyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (880 mg, 99%) as a yellow solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C29H34N2O2 (M+H)+: 443.61, observed: 443.2.
