A novel series of N-alkyl/aryl substituted phthalimide analogs containing 2-bromopyridyl functionality were synthesized applying optimized Buchwald-Hartwig amination conditions using palladium acetate, cesium carbonate, and±BINAP in toluene at 110° C under argon atmosphere. The target heteroaryl phthalimide derivatives were obtained in moderate yield ranging from 40% to 51%. In the extra precision (XP) docking studies, at the ATP site of ...
