Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.368 g, 1.5 mmol), pyridin-3-ylboronic acid (0.246 g, 2.0 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.173 g, 0.150 mmol), and cesium carbonate (0.977 g, 3 mmol) were suspended in dioxane (4 mL) and water (1 mL). The mixture was heated to 140° C. in a microwave for 1 h. The reaction vessel was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (˜25 mL), filtered through a bed of Celite, and conc. in vacuo to afford the aldehyde which was purified via SiO2 chromatography (40 g) using ethyl acetate/hexanes (5:1) as eluent to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.340 g, 93%); m/z 244.
