3-Butyn-2-amine, 2-methyl- → (5-Bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-[6-(2,4-difluoro-phenylamino)-pyridin-3-yl]-methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-[6-(2,4-difluoro-phenylamino)-pyridin-3-yl]-methanone (1.5 g; 3.5 mmol) is dissolved in NEt3 (110 ml), 3-amino-3-methyl-1-butyne (1.7 ml; 15.9 mmol), CuI (200 mg; 1 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (250 mg; 0.35 mmol) added and refluxed for 45 min. Since only small amount of product is formed, more PdCl2(PPh3)2 (500 mg; 0.7 mmol), CuI (500 mg; 2.5 mmol) and 3-amino-3-methyl-1-butyne (2 ml; 18.7 mmol) is added and refluxing continued for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture is decanted, the solvent evaporated and the residue purified by chromatography (SiO2; toluene/ethanol/NH3conc 95/5/0.2) to yield the title compound as slightly colored foam (730 mg; 48%).
