Boric Acid → Methyl 2-(2,3'-dicyano-4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-yl)isonicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.32 g of methyl 2-[4′-(benzyloxy)-2,3′-dicyanobiphenyl-4-yl]isonicotinate, which had been obtained in the same manner as in Example 1(1) using 4-(benzyloxy)-3-cyanophenyl]boric acid and methyl 2-(3-cyano-4-{[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]oxy}phenyl)isonicotinate, was dissolved in a mixture of 50 ml of THF and 50 ml of methanol, and 0.5 g of palladium-carbon was added, followed by stirring in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 0.5 g of methyl 2-(2,3′-dicyano-4′-hydroxybiphenyl-4-yl)isonicotinate.
