Triethylamine → 10-Azetidin-1-yl-3-pyridin-2-ylethynyl-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-1,4,7,10a-tetraaza-cyclohepta[f]indene-7-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.1 g (0.21 mmol) 10-azetidin-1-yl-3-iodo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-1,4,7,10a-tetraaza-cyclohepta[f]indene-7-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in a sealed tube under nitrogen was added 3 mL of dioxane and the mixture was degassed with nitrogen for 3 minutes. 14.7 mg (0.02 mmol) 1,1′-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocenedichloro palladium (II) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 86 μL (0.85 mmol) 2-ethynyl pyridine was added followed by 0.53 mL (3.8 mmol) triethylamine and 4 mg (0.02 mmol) CuI, and the reaction was stirred at 60° C. for 16 hours under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between 20 mL EtOAc and 20 mL saturated ammonium chloride. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL), the organic layers combined, washed with 20 mL brine, and dried with MgSO4. After filtration and evaporation of the solvent the desired product was purified by column chromatography (silica, heptane/EtOAc 9:1 to 3:7).
