Triethylamine → 5-Fluoro-3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-fluoro-3-iodo-pyridin-2-ylamine (4 g, 16.8 mmol) in THF (50 mL) and trimethylsilylacetylene (4.7 mL, 33.6 mmol) is treated with PdCl2(PPh3)4 (353 mg, 0.5 mmol), CuI (96 mg, 0.5 mmol) and triethylamine (7 mL, 50.4 mmol) and stirred at rt for 2 h. The mixture is filtered through Celite and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 10%-35% EtOAc in heptane to afford 5-fluoro-3-trimethylsilanylethynyl-pyridin-2-ylamine (3.3 g, 94%). MS: 209 (M+H); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.90 (d, 1H), 7.30 (m, 1H), 4.89 (s, NH2, 2H), 0.25 (s, 9H).
