Sodium Carbonate → tert-butyl 4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.66 g (2 mmol) of 1-t-butoxycarbonyl-4-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and 0.57 g (6 mmol) of 4-trifluoromethylphenylboronic acid in 6 mL of DME (dimethoxyethane) was added 2.5 mL (5 mmol) of a 2M solution of Na2CO3, 0.24 g (6 mmol) of LiCl and 0.115 g (0.1 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4 and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and dissolved in 10 mL of CH2Cl2. The solution was washed with sat'd NaHCO3 solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by chomatography (silica, hexanes: ethyl acetate, 10:1) to give 0.4 g of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ1.51 (s, 9H), 2.54 (m, 2H), 3.67 (t, 2H, J=6 Hz), 4.12 (br, 2H), 6.14 (br, 1H), 7.47 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz), 7.59 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz);
