Toluene → 3-(1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-isochromen-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 4-bromo-3-(1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-1H-isochromen-1-one (intermediate A8, 2 g, 5.22 mmol) in toluene (30 ml) PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.183 g, 0.261 mmol) was added followed by 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine (4.55 ml, 10.44 mmol) and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to RT and then and filtered through a celite pad. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the crude was dissolved in AcOEt and an aqueous sat. sol of KF was added and the mixture was stirred for 2 hrs. The organic phase was separated, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel Biotage cartridge (cyclohexane to cyclohexane:EtOAc=20:80) to afford 3-(1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-isochromen-1-one as a pale yellow oil (Intermediate B58.1, 0.508 g, 1.33 mmol).
