Sodium Carbonate → 2-Phenylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)phenylboronic acid (1.0 eq.) and 3-chloro-5-phenylpicolinonitrile (from step 1) (1.0 eq.), tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (5 mol %), and 2N aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2.0 eq.) in toluene/ethanol (2:1, 0.03 M) was stirred at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction content was diluted with methanol. The insoluble solids were filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated en vacuo to obtain a crude residue. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 2-phenylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine as a white solid. 1H NMR (dmso-d6): δ 9.13 (d, 1H), 9.03 (d, 1H), 8.56 (d, 1H), 7.98 (d, 2H), 7.43-7.56 (m, 5H), 7.27 (m, 1H), 7.13 (bs, 2H). LRMS [M+H]=272.2.
