Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a round-bottomed flask, 1-iodo-6-methyl-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (97 mg, 0.38 mmol) was dissolved in THF (3 ml). The solution was cooled to −16° C. (NaCl/ice bath) and isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.0M solution in THF, 0.23 ml, 0.46 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at −16° C. for 20 min then tributylchlorostannane (0.12 ml, 0.44 mmol) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 h then quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide 6-methyl-1-tributylstannanyl-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine as a brown oil which was used without further purification.
