Tri-o-tolylphosphine → (E)-N-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-ylmethyl)-3-(2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[2,3-d]-1,3-oxazin-6yl)acrylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1H-indol-2-ylmethyl)acrylamide (1.19 g, 5.2 mmole) in propionitrile (50 mL) was added 6-bromo-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[2,3-d]-1,3-oxazine (1.1 g, 4.9 mmole), DIEA (1.75 mL, 10 mmole), palladium(II) acetate (112 mg, 0.5 mmole), and tri-o-tolylphosphine (304 mg, 1.0 mmole). The reaction was purged with argon and heated at reflux for 16 hr, then was cooled to RT and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was taken up in CHCl3 and the solution was filtered through a pad of silica gel (3% methanol/CHCl3). The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was triturated with ethyl acetate, collected by suction filtration, and dried under vacuum gave the title compound (1.02 g, 55%) as an off-white solid: LCMS (ES) m/e 377 4 (M+H)+.
