(Z)-1-Ethoxy-2-(tributylstannyl)ethene → (E)-ethyl 6-(2-ethoxyvinyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring mixture of ethyl 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (24s) (1 g, 3.72 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (215 mg, 0.19 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (10 mL) under argon was added tributyl[2-ethoxyethenyl]stannane (1.7 g, 4.65 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated in a microwave sealed tube overnight at 90° C. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and was filtered through celite. The solvent was concentrated and the crude product was purified by silica chromatography to afford (E)-ethyl 6-(2-ethoxyvinyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (111). MS m/z 261.3 (M+1)+.
