Triethylamine → 5-Bromo-2-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-3-iodopyridin-2-ol (1 equiv), copper iodide (3 equiv), palladium catalyst (0.05 equiv), TBAF (1 equiv), triethylamine (3.3 equiv) and alkyne (1 equiv) in toluene was stirred at room temperature until the reaction was deemed complete by TLC analysis. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, and brine, dried over sodium bicarbonate, filtered through celite, concentrated, and purified on silica gel to give the product, 5-bromo-2-methylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine.
