Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-morpholinopyridin-2(1H)-one (1.0 equiv.) and 4-methyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)aniline (1.2 equiv.) in DME and 2M sodium carbonate (3:1, 0.14 M) was added PdCl2(dppf)-DCM adduct (0.1 equiv.) in a microwave vial equipped with a stir bar. The reaction was heated to 120° C. for 15 min in the microwave. The solution was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, the organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography eluting with 100% ethyl acetate followed by 10% methanol in ethyl acetate. The pure fractions were concentrated and dried under vacuo to afford 5-(5-amino-2-methylphenyl)-1-methyl-3-morpholinopyridin-2(1H)-one in 31% yield. LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=300.2, Rt=0.41 min.
