Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-1,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane (2.00 g, 9.26 mmol), 3-bromopyridine (1.38 g, 8.73 mmol), potassium tert-butoxide (2.50 g, 22.3 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.318 g, 0.347 mmol), 2,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.324 g, 0.520 mmol) and dry toluene (50 mL) was placed in a pressure tube under argon. The mixture was stirred and heated at 90° C. (bath temperature) for 24 h and cooled. Water (20 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (6×25 mL). The extracts were dried (K2CO3) and concentrated. Column chromatography of the residue on Merck silica gel 60 (70-230 mesh), with 6:4 (v/v) chloroform/acetone, gave 1.80 g (66.2%) of light brown oil, after concentration of selected fractions.
