Piperidine → N-(3-methyl-5-trimethylsilanylethynyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere 35 mg (0.03 mmol) tetrakis-triphenylphosphane-palladium and 5.7 mg (0.03 mmol) CuI are added to a solution of 447 mg (1.5 mmol) N-(5-bromo-3-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetamide and 0.23 mL (1.65 mmol) ethynyl-trimethyl-silane in 0.45 mL (4.5 mmol) piperidine and 10 mL THF and the reaction mixture is stirred for 14 h at RT. To complete the reaction a further 35 mg tetrakis-triphenylphosphane-palladium are added and the reaction mixture is heated to 50° C. for 4 h. It is diluted with water, extracted exhaustively with EtOAc, the combined organic phases are washed with saturated NaCl solution and dried over Na2SO4. After the desiccant and solvent have been eliminated the residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc/MeOH/NH3 90:10:1).
