Tris(furan-2-yl)phosphane → HCID 178432469, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

400 mg of 6-trimethylstannyl-N-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxamide (Intermediate 4), 229 mg of 2-methyl-4-iodo-1H-imidazole, 8 mL of tetrahydrofuran, 9.1 mg of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium and 4.6 mg of tris(2-furyl)phosphine are placed in a microwave tube. The reaction mixture is heated for 50 minutes in a microwave machine set at 130° C. and then concentrated to dryness. The residue is taken up in 3.5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide and a further 150 mg of 2-methyl-4-iodo-1H-imidazole, 10 mg of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium and 5 mg of tris(2-furyl)phosphine are added, followed by heating again for 40 minutes in a microwave machine set at 120° C. The reaction mixture is filtered, the insoluble matter is rinsed with methanol and dichloromethane and the combined filtrates are concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed on a silica cartridge, eluting with dichloromethane and then with a 90/10 mixture of dichloromethane and methanol. The fractions containing the pure expected product are combined and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 28 mg of 6-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-N-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxamide in the form of a beige-coloured solid.
