Cesium carbonate → Methyl 1-[5-(morpholin-4-ylcarbonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-{[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-5-yl]carbonyl}morpholine (200 mg), methyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-carboxylate (323 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (19 mg), (R)-(+)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (25 mg), cesium carbonate (661 mg), and toluene (3 mL) was heated with reflux for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture was added water and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain methyl 1-[5-(morpholin-4-ylcarbonyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-6-carboxylate (170 mg) as a yellowish white solid.
