1,2-Dimethoxyethane → 1-(6-Phenyl-3-pyridyl)-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl homopiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(6-Bromo-3-pyridyl)-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl homopiperazine (0.89 g, 2.5 mmol), phenyl boronic acid (0.37 g, 3.0 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.15 g, 0.12 mmol), 1.2-dimethoxyethane (50 ml), potassium carbonate (1.0 g, 7.5 mmol) and water (7.5 ml) was stirred at reflux overnight. Water (50 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (40 ml). Chromatography on silica gel with a mixture of petroleum:ethyl acetate (1:1) gave the title compound as an oil. Yield 0.83 g. 94%.
