Triethylamine → 5-Chloro-3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-iodopyridine (4.2 g, 0.017 mol), copper(I) iodide (0.032 g, 0.17 mmol) and triethylamine (7.0 mL, 0.050 mol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (10 mL), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.12 g, 0.17 mmol) and ethynyl trimethylsilane (3.0 mL, 0.021 mol) were added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether and removed the precipitate by filtration with C elite. The filtrate was concentrated to afford 2-amino-5-chloro-3-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]pyridine as solid (4.2 g).
