Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-methylpyridine (300 mg, 1.744 mmol), cycloheptanone (0.206 mL, 1.744 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (121 mg, 0.209 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (80 mg, 0.087 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (739 mg, 2.267 mmol) in 2-propanol (1.5 mL) and toluene (1.5 mL) was stirred at 85° C. overnight. After this time, the mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth, then the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (7:3 hexane-EtOAc, eluant) to afford the title compound. MS (APCI+) m/z 204 (M+H)+.
