Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-iodo-6-methyl-2-oxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate (2.6 g, 5.76 mmol), phenyltributylstannane (2.24 mg, 6.10 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (17.3 mg, 0.02 mmol), toluene (15 ml) and anhydrous DME (1.5 ml) were placed in a Schlenk vessel equipped with a magnetic stirring bar. The vessel was purged with argon, sealed and heated at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC to give the tide compound as a white solid (0.8 g, 35%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.26 (1H, s); 7.72 (2H, m); 7.56 (1H, s); 7.51-7.36 (4H, m); 7.34-7.28 (2H, m); 4.37 (2H, q, J 7.1 Hz); 1.97 (3H, s); 1.37 (3H, t). APCI-MS m/z: 402.3 [MH+].
