Biphenyl-2-boronic acid → HCID 59575353, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A nitrogen flushed mixture of 4-chloro-2-methoxypyridine (3.0 g, 21.03 mmol), 2-biphenylboronic acid 5.0 g, 25.23 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (381 mg, 0.414 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (681 mg, 1.66 mmol), toluene (250 mL) and a slurry of K3PO4.H2O (14.57 g, 63.09 mmol) in water (25 mL) were refluxed for 18 h. After the mixture cooled to room temperature the organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica (hexane:ethyl acetate) and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 4-(biphenyl-2-yl)-2-methoxypyridine (4.2 g, 76.5%).
