Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 40 mL vial was purged with and maintained under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen then charged with tert-butyl 4[(5-bromo-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.70 mmol, 1.00 equiv), (2-methylphenyl)boronic acid (0.730 g, 5.40 mmol, 2.00 equiv), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.310 g, 0.270 mmol, 0.10 equiv), potassium carbonate (1.15 g, 8.32 mmol, 3.08 equiv), dioxane (15 mL), water (3 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 80° C. and diluted with water (20 mL). The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL) and the organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (60/40) to provide 1.00 g (92% yield) of tert-butyl 4-[[6-methyl-5-(2-methylphenyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate as yellow oil. LCMS (ESI, m/z): 382 [M+H]+.
