Potassium Carbonate → 3-(1-Ethyl-4,4,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-7-yl)-4-trifluoromethoxy-benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Compound 1A (1 g, 3.38 mmol) in 17 mL of toluene was added to a flask containing 2-trifluoromethoxy-5-formyl-phenyl boronic acid (0.95 g, 4.05 mmol), prepared by the procedure described in WO 03/075924, and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (195 mg, 0.17 mmol) in 4 mL of toluene. Next, 3.4 mL of a 2M solution of potassium carbonate was added and the reaction heated to reflux for four hours, after which the reaction was cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, stripped and purified via flash chromatography (15% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 890 mg of product Compound 2A (65%). MS (electrospray): mass calculated for C22H22F3NO3, 405.16; m/z found 406.2, [M+H]+.
