Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-4-iodonicotinaldehyde (50 mg, 0.2 mmol), tert-butyl carbamate (28 mg, 0.24 mmol), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (18 mg, 0.03 mmol), palladium acetate (5 mg, 0.02 mmol), and cesium carbonate (100 mg, 0.32 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 1 hour. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with water (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (silica, 4 g, ISCO, 0-50% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford the title compound as a white solid (18 mg, 40%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.42 (s, 1H), 9.93 (s, 1H), 8.61 (s, 1H), 8.50 (s, 1H), 1.55 (s, 9H).
