Cesium carbonate → Tert-butyl (4-bromopyridin-2-yl)(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl (4-bromopyridin-2-yl)carbamate (1.5 g), cesium carbonate (2.7 g) and DMF (15 mL) was added 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (2.0 g).
