Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A reaction flask was charged with 0.5 g (2.27 mmol) of 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxa borolan-2-yl)-pyridin-2-ylamine, 0.31 g (2.50 mmol) of 2-bromo-but-2-ene, 1.48 g (4.54 mmol) of Cs2CO3 and 52 mg (0.045 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium under nitrogen atmosphere. The solids were dissolved in a degassed toluene/ethanol mixture (20 mL, 1/1) and the reaction heated to 90° C. for 7 h. The reaction was quenched with water (5 mL) and TBME (5 mL). The reaction mixture was filtered. The filtrate was extracted with TBME (20 mL). The organic extract was washed with brine and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified twice by column chromatography (silica, eluent DCM, 0-50% ethyl acetate) to afford 134 mg of 5-(1-methyl-propenyl)-pyridin-2-ylamine. ES−MS: m/z 149 [M+H+];
