Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2,6-dichloroisonicotinate (5.0 g, 24.3 mmol), methyl(methylsulfonyl)amine (3.18 g, 29.12 mmol), potassium phosphate (7.22 g, 34.0 mmol), Xantphos (0.87 g, 1.50 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0.68 g, 0.51 mmol) were added to a dry, argon flushed flask. Dioxane (195 mL) was added, the solution degassed with argon and the reaction was heated to 100° C. for 16 h. The reaction was cooled to rt, filtered through celite and evaporated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (silica, 0-50% EtOAc/CH2Cl2) gave methyl 2-chloro-6-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]isonicotinate as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.88 (s, 1H), 7.68 (s, 1H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 3.44 (s, 3H), 3.11 (s, 3H).
