Reaction Steps

To a mixture of (amphos)2PdCl2 (0.145 g, 0.205 mmol), potassium acetate (1.045 g, 10.65 mmol), methyl 4-(3-chloropyrazin-2-yloxy)benzoate (1.084 g, 4.10 mmol), and tert-butyl 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3,4-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (1.900 g, 6.14 mmol) under N2 was added MeCN (7.0 mL) and Ar degassed water (0.70 mL). The reaction mixture was degassed with Ar (10 min) then heated to 80° C. for 20 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with H2O (20 mL) and extracted with Teac (2×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (10 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by ISCO (120 g SiO2, 10-100% Teac/hexanes) gave tert-butyl 5-(3-(4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenoxy)pyrazin-2-yl)-3,4-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate as a yellow oil.
