Reaction Steps

1 g (6.8 mmol) of (3-pyridyl)diethylborane, 0.87 ml (10.2 mmol) of 2-(4-bromophenyl)ethanol, 1.53 g (27 mmol) of KOH powder, 1.1 g (3.4 mmol) of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 0.39 g (0.34 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)Pd are mixed in 25 ml of anhydrous THF. The mixture is heated at reflux under a stream of argon for 4 hours. The mixture is poured into water, extraction is carried out with ethyl acetate, the organic phase is dried and the solvent is evaporated. The residue is purified by chromatography on a column of silica gel, elution being carried out with a cyclohexane/ethyl acetate=1/1 mixture, the title product thus being obtained.
