Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)phenylboronic acid (1.0 eq.) and 3-bromo-6-chloropicolinonitrile (from step 2) (1.0 eq.) in toluene (0.44 M) was mixed with tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (5 mol %) and 2N aqueous potassium carbonate solution (2.0 eq.). The reaction was heated to 100° C. and stirred overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction content was diluted with 2% methanol in dichloromethane and water. The two phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with 2% methanol in dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated en vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-50% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a solid, which was then triturated in 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 3-chlorobenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine. 1H NMR (acetone d-6): δ 9.10 (d, 1H), 8.45 (d, 1H), 7.89 (d, 1H), 7.58-7.65 (m, 2H), 7.35-7.39 (dd, 1H), 6.67 (br, 2H). LRMS [M+H]=230.1
