Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 10 mL rbf equipped with a nitrogen bubbler were charged 3-bromo-9-aminoacridine 5 (120 mg, 0.44 mmol), tert-butyl acrylate (75 μL, 0.48 mmol) and anhydrous DMF (1 mL). Tri-(O-tolyl)phosphine (25 mg, 0.08 mmol) and palladium (II) acetate (6 mg, 0.03 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature and degassed by applying nitrogen flow and vacuum successively (3 times). The mixture was finally placed under nitrogen atmosphere and triethylamine (185 μL, 1.32 mmol) was added. The red-orange solution was heated to 110° C. for 3 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The brown-orange solution was filtered through Celite and washed with ethyl acetate. This organic layer was then washed with water and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product as an orange oil. Purification by Flashmaster II using a gradient elution (DCM→DCM:MeOH 60:40) afforded pure 3-(9-amino-acridin-2-yl)-acrylic acid tert-butyl ester 6 as an orange solid (75 mg, 53%). 1H NMR and LCMS analyses conformed to structure.
