Procedure

To a mixture of 4-tolylboronic acid (38 g, 0.28 mol), 3-bromopyridine (44 g, 0.28 mol), Na2CO3 (200 g) in toluene (500 ml) and water (500 ml) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (16 g, 0.014 mol), and refluxed for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the separated organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried. The solvent was removed to give 4-(3-pyridyl)toluene (42 g, 90%).
