Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (2E)-3-(6-bromo-5-methyl-3-pyridyl)acrylate (500 mg) in dioxane (5 mL) was added palladium(II) acetate (41.6 mg) and 2′-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-N,N-dimethyl-2-diphenylamine (109 mg) and cesium carbonate (843 mg), and (3R)-(−)-1-benzyl-3-aminopyrrolidine (359 mg). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 18 hours. The resulting mixture was poured into sat.NH4Cl aqueous solution and extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was washed with sat. NH4Cl aq solution, water, and brine, and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo and residual brown oil was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (chloroform:methanol 90:10) to give ethyl (2E)-3-(6-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-5-methyl-3-pyridyl)acrylate (366 mg) as pale yellow oil.
