Development of a Concise Scaleable Synthesis of 2-Chloro-5-(pyridin-2-yl) Pyrimidine via a Negishi Cross-Coupling
摘要:
A practical and scaleable synthesis of 2-chloro-5-(pyridin-2-yl) pyrimidine, an intermediate in the synthesis of a selective PDE-V inhibitor, was developed. A Negishi cross-coupling between the in situ prepared 2-pyridylzinc chloride and 5-iodo-2-chloropyrimidine catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)(4) afforded the product in one step. Development of a convenient purification did away with the necessity of chromatography, allowing the preparation of the product on kilogram scale.
