3-Methylbut-1-yne → 2-Chloro-5-(3-methylbut-1-ynyl)pyridin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-iodopyridin-4-amine (Compound 11, 2.55 g, 10.0 mmol) in Et3N (35 ml) was added Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (70 mg, 0.10 mmol), CuI (19 mg, 0.10 mmol), and 3-methyl-1-butyne (1.2 ml, 12 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 h and was quenched with H2O, extracted with EtOAc (Δ2). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (0→30% EtOAc-hexanes) to yield the title compound as an off-white solid.
