Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → N-(4-(2-(5-amino-8-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-(2-(5-chloro-6-cyanopyridin-3-yl)ethyl)phenyl)acetamide (from the previous step) (1.0 eq.), tert-butyl 4-methyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenylcarbamate (from Example 5/Step 2) (1.5 eq.), Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (10 mol %), dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (20 mol %), and potassium phosphate (2.0 eq.) in n-butanol /H2O (2.5:1, 0.04 M) was stirred at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The two phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated en vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give N-(4-(2-(5-amino-8-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)acetamide as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.51 (s, 1H), 8.32 (s, 1H), 8.01 (d, 1H), 7.44 (s, 1H), 7.33-7.36 (m, 2H), 7.03-7.19 (m, 3H), 5.98 (br, 2H), 3.07-3.11 (m, 2H), 2.94-2.98 (m, 2H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 2.10 (s, 3H). LRMS [M+H]=371.2.
