Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.9 grams (0.019 mole) of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-iodo-4-methylpyridine (prepared as in Step E of Example 9) in 75 mL of dioxane is stirred, and gaseous carbon monoxide is bubbled in during a 15 minute period. While maintaining a carbon monoxide atmosphere, 4.7 grams (0.039 mole) of phenylboronic acid (commercially available), 6.8 mL (0.048 mole) of triethylamine, and 0.5 gram (catalyst) of palladium(II) acetate are in turn added. To maintain the carbon monoxide atmosphere, a balloon filled with carbon monoxide gas is then attached to the reaction vessel. The reaction mixture is then warmed to 65° C. where it is stirred for about 20 hours. The reaction mixture is then poured into a mixture of 300 mL of water and 100 mL of aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. This mixture is extracted with two 150 mL portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts are dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue is purified using column chromatography, yielding 2-amino-3-cyano-4-methyl-5-phenylcarbonylpyridine.
