Triphenylphosphine → (6-Chloro-4-pyridin-3-yl-quinolin-2-yl)-(2-methoxy-benzyl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(4-Bromo-6-chloro-quinolin-2-yl)-(2-methoxy-benzyl)-amine (530 mg, 1.4 mmol) and pyridine-3-boronic acid (224 mg, 1.8 mmol) were dissolved in 16 mL dimethoxyethane and 8 mL 2N sodium carbonate solution. The reaction mixture was evacuated and backfilled with argon for three times. Triphenylphosphine (37 mg, 0.141 mmol) and palladium acetate (16 mg, 0.071 mmol) were added and the mixture was refluxed overnight. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (200 mL each). The organic phases ware pooled, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 100:0->30:70 gradient). (6-Chloro-4-pyridin-3-yl-quinolin-2-yl)-(2-methoxy-benzyl)-amine was obtained as a white foam (500 mg, 94%), MS: m/e=376.4 (M+H+).
