1,4-Dioxane → 1-(6-Azetidin-1-ylpyridin-3-yl)cyclopropanecarbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)cyclopropanecarbonitrile (200.0 mg, 0.001120 mol) in 1,4-dioxane (8.00 mL, 0.102 mol) at rt were added azetidine hydrochloride (128.3 mg, 0.001344 mol), palladium acetate (25.2 mg, 0.000112 mol), and sodium tert-butoxide (288 mg, 0.00291 mol). The reaction mixture was degassed and then microwave irradiated at 150° C. for 40 min. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. The crude product was purified by combiflash. LCMS: m/z 200.2 (M+H)+.
