Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, nitrogen inlet and reflux condenser was charged with 3,5-dibromo-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (936 mg, 3.51 mmol), 2-aminopyridine (300 mg, 3.19 mmol), cesium carbonate (3.11 g, 9.57 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (20 mL). After bubbling nitrogen through the resulting solution for 20 minutes, Xantphos (184 mg, 0.319 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (146 mg, 0.160 mmol) were added, and the reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 h. After this time, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography to afford a 42% yield (376 mg) of 184a as an off-white solid: mp 153-154° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) d 8.75 (s, 1H), 8.69 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 8.26 (dd, 1H, J=5.4, 1.5 Hz), 7.61 (m, 1H), 7.54 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 7.33 (d, 1H, J=5.4 Hz), 6.86 (m, 1H), 3.45 (s, 3H).
