Cesium carbonate → 3-(4-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)-N-methylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2, 4-dichloropyridine (0.500 g, 3.39 mmoL) and 4-amino-N-methylbenzamide (0.510 g, 3.39 mmoL) in dimethylacetamide (1 mL) was added cesium carbonate (1.6 g, 5.08 mmoL) and the reaction mixture was degassed for 15 min. Pd2(dba)3 (0.154 g, 0.169 mmol) and BINAP (105 mg, 0.169 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was irradiated in the microwave at 120° C. for 1 h. Then reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel column chromatography provided 3-((4-chloropyridin-2-yl)amino)-N-methylbenzamide (0.300 g, 38%) as a solid. Observed mass (M+1): 262.1
