Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL microwave vial was added Bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine) palladium (0) (121 mg, 0.238 mmol) and N-(4-(3-bromopyridin-2-yloxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-amine hydrochloride (900 mg, 2.377 mmol) before sealing and evacuating and backfilling with nitrogen. After addition of dioxane (11.900 ml), N-cyclohexyl-N-methylcyclohexanamine (1.008 ml, 4.75 mmol), and 2,5-dihydrofuran (0.701 ml, 9.51 mmol), the black suspension was heated to 80° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, transferred to a 100 mL round bottom flask, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The material was taken up in DCM and adsorbed onto silica before purifying by flash chromatography (0 to 75% ethyl acetate/hexanes), affording a mixture of 2- and 3-dihydrofuranyl products that was used without separation.
