Potassium Carbonate → 6′-Methoxy[3,3′-bipyridin]-6-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A degassed mixture of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (3.5 g, 20.23 mmol), 6-methoxypyridin-3-ylboronic acid (3.71 g, 24.28 mmol) and bis[3-(diphenylphosphanyl)-cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl]iron-dichloropalladium-dichloromethane complex (413 mg, 0.51 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (36 mL) and a 2M aqueous potassium carbonate solution (36.4 mL) was heated at 90° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for approximately 16 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL). The organic phase was separated off, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was triturated with DCM (10 mL) and filtered, to afford the title compound (3.36 g, 83%) as a light brown solid. Method C LCMS: MH+ m/z 202, RT 0.60 minutes.
