Morpholine → HCID 67107533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-(4-bromo-phenyl)-indolizine (1.2 g, 4.42 mmol) in toluene (8 mL) was added cesium carbonate (4.3 g, 13.24 mmol) and morpholine (1.15 mL, 13.24 mmol). To this was added a mixture of bis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (II) chloride (120 mg) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′-(N,N′-dimethylamino)biphenyl (150 mg) in toluene (10 mL). The reaction mixture was degassed for 15 min and then refluxed for 16 h under an atmosphere of argon. The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water and brine solution (×2), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude compound was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (60-120 mesh) with 80% chloroform/petroleum ether to afford 2-(4-morpholin-4-yl-phenyl)-indolizine (300 mg, 24%) as a solid.
