Additional portions of pyridin-4-ylboronic acid (3.00 g, 24.41 mmol) and potassium carbonate (13.49 g, 98 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was heated to 120° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured into water and was extracted with DCM. The organics were then concentrated. Purification of the crude residue by silica gel column chromatography (0-100% EtOAc/heptane) gave 4-(2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine (3.054 g, 10.11 mmol, 41.4% yield) as a white solid.
