Sodium Carbonate → N-(3-(4-Cyanophenyl)phenyl)pyrid-3-ylmethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3-bromophenyl)pyridin-3-ylmethylamine (364 mg, 1.38 mmol), 4-cyanophenylboronic acid (305 mg, 2.08 mmol), sodium carbonate (2.15 ml of a 2M aqueous solution, 4.3 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (70 mg, 0.061 mmol), under a nitrogen atmosphere was refluxed in dioxane (15 ml) for 6 h, then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (70 ml) and water (15 ml). The organics were separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to a brown solid. The solid was purified by radial chromatography eluting with 2 to 4% methanol/dichloromethane to afforded the title compound. MS calcd. 285.3; MS (M+1) 286.3.
