Reaktionsschritte

A 50-ml four-necked flask was equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a reflux condenser. 0.568 g (5 mmol) of 2-chloropyridine, 0.748 g (5.5 mmol) of ortho-tolylboronic acid, 0.011 g (0.05 mmol) of palladium (II) acetate, 0.959 g (17 mmol) of potassium fluoride and 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran were weighed in the flask, followed by stirring. Further, 0.029 g (0.05 mmol) of tri-tert-butylphosphonium tetra-para-tolylborate obtained in Example B-3 was weighed in air and added into the flask. The flask was purged with argon, followed by stirring at 25° C. for 24 hours. After the completion of the reaction, 10 ml of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added, followed by separation. The organic phase was purified by column chromatography to afford 0.677 g of 2-ortho-tolylpyridine (yield: 80 mol % based on 2-chloropyridine). The identification of the product was made by mass spectroscopy.
