Reaction Steps

A 100-mL single-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser was charged 200b (2.0 g, 7.2 mmol), 3,5-dibromo-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (1.9 g, 7.2 mmol), cesium carbonate (4.7 g, 14.4 mmol), and 1,4-dioxane (50 mL). After bubbling nitrogen through the resulting mixture for 30 min, Xantphos (418 mg, 0.72 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (661 mg, 0.72 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was subject to three cycles of vacuum/argon flush and heated at 100° C. for 6 h. After this time the reaction was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was partitioned between ethyl acetate (120 mL) and water (60 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×80 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with 1:4 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether to afford 200c (2.0 g, 61%) as a yellow solid. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 463.2
