1-Pyrrolidineethanamine → 5-Bromo-N-[2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.8 g (100.0 mmol) K2CO3, 79 mg (0.12 mmol) 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl and 28 mg (0.12 mmol) Pd(OAc)2 are added successively to a solution of 1.5 g (6.33 mmol) 2,5-dibromopyridine and 0.98 mL (7.60 mmol) 1-(2-aminoethyl)-pyrrolidine in 60 mL toluene. The reaction is refluxed for 40 h. The solvent is eliminated i.vac. and the residue is taken up in 150 mL EtOAc and 100 mL water. The organic phase is dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent is eliminated i.vac. Purification is carried out by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient: EtOAc/MeOH/NH3 19:1:0.1 to EtOAc/MeOH/NH3 9:1:0.1).
