Reaction Steps

A stirring mixture of ethyl 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (24s) (500 mg, 1.86 mmol), tert-butyl acrylate (408 uL, 2.79 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)diplalladium(0) (51 mg, 0.056 mmol), [(t-Bu)3PH]BF4 (27 mg, 0.093 mmol) and N,N-dicyclohexylmethylamine (738 uL, 3.48 mmol) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (5 mL) was heated at 95° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solvent was concentrated and the crude product was purified by silica chromatography to yield ethyl 6-(3-(tert-butoxy)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (70). MS m/z 317.14 (M+1)+.
