2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol → 4-(5-Chloro-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-2-methyl-but-3-yn-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-bromo-5-chloro-3-nitro-pyridine (2.5 g, 10.6 mmol), CuI (141 mg, 0.74 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4, (367 mg, 0.32 mmol) and 2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (1.5 mL, 15.8 mmol) was added 1-methyl-2-pyrorolidone (20 mL) followed by Et3N (6 mL, 22 mmol). After stirring for 4 h 30 min at room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (EtOAc/Hexanes, 2:98, then 5:95) to provide 4-(5-chloro-3-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-2-methyl-but-3-yn-2-ol. MS m/z: 241.0 (M+H).
