5-Bromopyrimidine → 4-(Pyrimidin-5-ylamino)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-pyrimidine (1.59 g, 10.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available), 4-amino-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.00 g, 10.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv), rac-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (0.25 g, 0.40 mmol, 0.04 equiv), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.21 g, 0.20 mmol, 0.02 equiv) and KOtert-Bu (1.35 g, 12.01 mmol, 1.2 equiv) in toluene (10 mL) was heated under Ar by microwave irradiation to 100° C. for 2 h. The crude reaction mixture was filtered through Hyflo Super Cel, a sat. solution of sodium chloride (100 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic phases were concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure and the residue purified by silica column chromatography using a MPLC system (CombiFlash Companion, Isco Inc.) eluting with a gradient of heptane (+1% triethylamine)/ethyl acetate to provide 1.30 g (47%) of the title compound. MS (ISP): 279.1 [M+H]+.
