1,1'-(9,9-Dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(1,1-diphenylphosphine) → methyl 5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(3-nitrophenyl)amino)pyridine-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-Butyl 2-chloropyridin-4-yl(3-nitrophenyl)carbamate (3.65 g, 10.43 mmol), methyl-(5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (5.48 g, 21.82 mmol), xantphos (0.72 g, 1.25 mmol) and Pd2dba3 (0.72 g, 0.79 mmol) was added to a thick walled reaction vessel and purged with N2. A solution of 2M K2CO3 (8.76 mL) was added, followed by dioxane (67 mL). The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture stirred at 105° C. for 18 h. The reaction vessel was cooled to rt and the mixture was filtered over celite, washing with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated to afford a dark oil, which was purified via column chromatography eluting with 30-50% EtOAc/hexanes to afford methyl 5-(4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl(3-nitrophenyl)amino)pyridine-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (2.98 g, 65% yield) as an orange oil.
