Sodium Carbonate → Methyl 5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromopyrimidine (73 mg), sodium carbonate (81 mg), water (0.3 mL), and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (5.3 mg) were added to an ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (1 mL) solution of methyl 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylate (0.10 g), followed by heating to reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, ethyl acetate and water were added thereto, and the insoluble substance was removed by filtration. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [Fuji Silysia Chemical Ltd., PSQ100B (spherical), eluent: 90-50% hexane/ethyl acetate] to obtain 30 mg of methyl 5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylate as a yellow solid.
