Reaction Steps

A round-bottomed flask was charged with 6-Bromo-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-b]pyridine IM13 (1.74 g, 8.61 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) under N2 and tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin (3.65 ml, 10.8 mmol) was added. Tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium(0) (0.50 g, 0.43 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at 65° C. overnight. The mixture was added to water and EtOAc and the phases were separated. The org phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) filtered and was rotovaped. The residue was dissolved in THF (100 ml), and a mixture of water (15 ml) and conc. HCl (2.5 ml) was added and the solution was stirred at rt 5 min. The solution was added to brine and sat NaHCO3 solution was added until the solution was slightly alkaline. The org Phase was extracted with EtOAc and the phases were separated. The org phase was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) filtered and was rotovaped. The residue was redissolved in THF (10 ml) EtOAc (20 ml) and heptanes (20 ml). The mixture was concentrated until 25 ml remained and cooled in ice. A solid precipitated and was collected by filtration. Yield: 0.942 g (66%) of IM21. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.54 (s, 1H), 6.27 (s, 2H), 2.53 (s, 3H).
