42. Typical experimental procedure: A dry vial was cooled to it under nitrogen, and was charged with copper(I) iodide (43.0 mg, 0.23 mmol), potassium carbonate (4.15 mg, 3.0 mmol), and p-toluene sulfonamide (257 mg, 1.50 mmol). Dry DMF (10 mL) was added, followed by ligand 1 (0.071 mL, 0.45 mmol) and 2-bromopyridine (286 mg, 1.80 mmol). The resulting blue suspension was stirred at it for 5 min, then heated to 100 °C for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to it, diluted with ethyl acetate (75 mL), then transferred to a separatory funnel and washed with 10% aqueous ammonium chloride. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 times 60 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with water (3 times 75 mL) and brine then dried over magnesium sulfate. All the volatiles were evaporated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with a DCM/MeOH gradient.
43. Recent experimental and theoretical studies have indicated that the rate-determining step of the arylation of amides with copper is the oxidative addition. We assumed that a similar reaction mechanism is operative: (a) Strieter, E. R.; Blackmond, D. G.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 4120-4125.
