Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → tert-Butyl 4-(4-cyclopropyl-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add tert-butyl 4-(4-bromo-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (1.82 g, 3.97 mmol), cyclopropylboronic acid (0.44 g, 1.3 eq), tricyclohexylphosphine (0.11 g, 0.1 eq), and potassium phosphate (2.95 g, 3.5 eq) in toluene (18 mL) and water (0.9 mL). Degas with nitrogen for 5 minutes. Add palladium acetate (0.045 g, 0.05 eq) and heat at 90° C. overnight. Stop heating after 12 hrs. Dilute with water then extract with ethyl acetate three times. Dry over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 0-20-50% ethyl acetate/hexanes, then with 1-3-5-7% methanol/dichloromethane, to give the title compound (0.61 g, 37%). MS (ES) m/z=420 [M]+.
