Cesium carbonate → (S)-3-[6-(5-cyano-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Reaction Steps

To a glass vial was added (S)-3-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (intermediate 7) (630 mg, 1.97 mmol), 5-bromo-2-methoxynicotinonitrile (419 mg, 1.97 mmol), cesium carbonate (1281.0 mg, 3.93 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (180 mg, 0.20 mmol), X-Phos (319 mg, 0.67 mmol) and anhydrous dioxane (10.0 mL). The vial was flushed with a stream of argon for 15 sec and capped. The mixture was heated with stirring for 1 h at 110° C. and then stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Diluted with CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and water (30 mL) and filtered through a celite pad. The organic phase was separated by filtering through a phase separation tube and concentrated in vacuo. Purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with heptanes/EtOAc, 80/20 to 0/100 to give (S)-3-[6-(5-cyano-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a brown gum (350 mg, 39% yield) LCMS: [M+H]+=453.6, Rt(7)=1.29 min.
