Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To an oven-dried Schlenck flask under an atmosphere of argon was added 2-chloro-8-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (0.460 g, 1.77 mmol), 7-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3-benzazepine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.558 g, 2.12 mmol), palladium acetate (0.0875 g, 0.390 mmol), 2,2-bis-dicyclohexylphosphanyl-biphenyl (0.242 g, 0.443 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.44 g, 4.43 mmol), followed by 1,4-dioxane (12.00 mL) and was degassed under an atmosphere of argon for 5 min and heated at 100° C. overnight, cooled at room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane, filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated. The reaction was purified via chromatography (silica gel 20%-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) and concentrated to give 748-(2-methoxy-phenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ylamino]-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3-benzazepine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.744 g, 87%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, (D3C)2SO, δ, ppm): 9.54 (s, 1H), 8.78 (d, 1H), 7.55 (m, 2H), 7.45 (m, 2H), 7.35 (s, 1H) 7.15 (m, 1H), 7.05 (m, 3H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.48 (m, 4H), 2.78 (m, 4H), 1.41 (s, 9H): MS=486 (MH)+.
