Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-N-methylpyrimidine-2-carboxamide (0.14 g, 0.64 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added acrylic acid benzyl ester (0.13 g, 0.78 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (14.3 mg), tri-o-tolyl phosphine (49 mg, 0.16 mmol), tributyl amine (0.48 g, 2.59 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated in microwave oven at 110° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, partitioned in water (50 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL). Ethyl acetate layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), concentrated to give 3-(2-methylcarbamoyl-pyrimidin 5-yl)acrylic acid benzyl ester as a solid, this was washed with hexanes and dried to give the 0.122 g of the product.
