Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-(3-Iodophenoxy)pyridine (0.634 g, 2.13 mmol), imidazo[1,2-]phenanthridin-11-ol (0.5 g, 2.13 mmol), copper(I) iodide (0.122 g, 0.640 mmol), picolinic acid (0.394 g, 3.20 mmol) and potassium phosphate monohydrate (1.72 g, 7.47 mmol) were added to 70 mL DMSO and degassed for 30 minutes with bubbling nitrogen gas. The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 24 h, cooled to room temperature and poured over 100 mL water. The organic materials were extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) and the combined extracts washed with 1N NaOH (1×50 mL) and saturated ammonium chloride solution (1×50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent to give 11-(3-(pyridin-2-yloxy)phenoxy)imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine (0.58 g, 67%) was isolated as a white solid.
