Reaction Steps

An oven dried tube was charged with palladium acetate (0.20 g, 0.89 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.60 g, 2.3 mmol). The tube was evacuated under high vacuum and backflushed under a stream of nitrogen for 5 minutes. 1,4-Dioxane (10 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 10 minutes. 8-Bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ylamine (1.0 g, 4.7 mmol), 2-methoxybenzeneboronic acid (1.1 g, 7.0 mmol), N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) and 1.50 M of sodium carbonate in water (10 mL) were added. The mixture was stirred for 2 minutes at room temperature under nitrogen then the tube was sealed and heated at 80° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was transferred to a round bottom flask and the volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure. Water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred when a precipitate was formed. The solid was collected by filtration, rinsed with water, air dried, triturated with ether/dichloromethane (4:1; 10 mL), filtered and rinsed with ether. 8-(2-Methoxy-phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ylamine was isolated (1.0 g, 89%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ, ppm): 8.50 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J=7.6, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.43-7.36 (m, 2H), 7.13 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 5.96 (br s, 2H), 3.73 (s, 3H). MS=241 (MH)+.
