Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed couplings of pyrid-4-yl nonaflates with methyl diazoacetate are described. After optimization of the reaction conditions the scope of the transformation proved to be fairly broad and a series of pyrid-4-yl-substituted methyl diazoacetates was prepared in generally high yields.

- 13 Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of Pyrid-4-yl Nonaflates with Methyl Diazoacetate; Typical Procedure for 14a: A sealed tube equipped with a stirring bar was charged with Pd(PPh3)4 (40 mg, 0.034 mmol) and pyrid-4-yl nonaflate 13a 11c (210 mg, 0.34 mmol). MeCN (3.5 mL), Et3N (71 μL, 0.51 mmol) and methyl diazoacetate (100 mg, 1.00 mmol) were added and the resulting solution was stirred at 45 °C for 4 h until complete conversion of the starting material was observed (reaction monitored by TLC). H2O (20 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL) were added and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (hexane–EtOAc, 4:1) to provide pyridyl diazoacetate 14a (101 mg, 72%) as a yellow oil. [α]D –63.5 (c = 1.0, CHCl3). IR (ATR): 3090–2860 (C-H), 2095 (CN2), 1715 (C=O), 1595–1550 (C=C) cm–1. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 0.00, 0.93 (2 × s, 6 H + 9 H, OTBS), 2.49 (s, 3 H, Me), 3.86 (s, 3 H, CO2CH3), 5.83 (s, 1 H, CHPh), 7.17–7.20, 7.25–7.29, 7.37–7.38, 7.47–7.49 (4 × m, 1 H + 3 H + 1 H + 2 H, Ph, 3-H/5-H). 13C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl3): δ = –4.93, –4.91, 18.2, 25.7 (2 × q + s + q, OTBS), 24.6 (q, Me), 52.1 (q, CO2 CH3), 77.5 (d, CHPh), 110.3, 115.5 (2 × d, C-3/C-5), 126.2, 127.0, 128.0 (3 × d, Ph), 128.2, 136.0, 143.7, 157.6 (4 × s, Ph, C-2/C-4/C-5), 164.3 (s, CO); the signal for C=N2 was not detected.
