tert-butyl 4-(3-(4-(pyridin-2-ylamino)phenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-(3-(4-(pyridin-2-ylamino)phenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a N2 purged flask containing tert-butyl 4-(3-(4-(pyridin-2-ylamino)phenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (10.0 g, 22.45 mmol) and pearlman's catalyst (4.1 g, 5.84 mmol) was added THF (350 mL). H2 was bubbled through the solution for 4 minutes, then the solution was capped with a balloon of H2. After 48 hours, LC-MS shows complete conversion. The solution was filtered over a pad of celite, and the celite washed with EtOAc (150 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in DCM (50 mL) and loaded onto a plug of silica gel (800 mL frit) and eluted with 0% to 50% EtOAc in hexanes to give tert-butyl 4-(3-(4-(pyridin-2-ylamino)phenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate as a light yellow foam. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 448.1 (M+1).
