Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of morpholine (3.67 g, 4.23 mmol), NMP (2 mL) and toluene (4 mL) was added 3,5-dibromopyridine (1.00 g, 4.20 mmol) and the mixture was heated under microwave conditions at 180° C. for 1 h. The solution was partitioned between DCM and water, the organic layer was washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with (EtOAc: PE=1:5). (200 mg, yield 19.5%) MS (ESI+) e/z: 243.0 [M+1]+ LCMS.
