Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(5-iodo-3-isoxazolyl)pyridine (prepared as described in WO0232919, 1.38 g, 5 mmol) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (35 mg, 0.05 mmol) in 8 mL triethylamine was degassed with nitrogen. Propargyl alcohol (560 mg, 10 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 65° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated to remove the solvent. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with saturated NaHCO3, water and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) yielded 220 mg (22%) of the title compound. MS 201 (M+H)+.
