Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a pressure vessel was added 4-(3-bromopyridin-2-yloxy)aniline (7.23 g, 27.3 mmol) and 2-fluoro-5-methylpyridine (3.03 mL, 27.2 mmol) in NMP (13.61 mL) to stir at 170° C. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with water, sat NaCl, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was adsorbed onto a plug of silica gel and chromatographed to provide N-(4-(3-bromopyridin-2-yloxy)phenyl)-5-methylpyridin-2-amine.
