Ethanol → 5-Chloro-2-ethenylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,5-dichloropyridine (10.0 g), potassium vinyltrifluoroborate (10.86 g), dichloromethane complex (2.5 g) of dichloro-1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene palladium (II), triethylamine (14.13 mL) and ethanol (150 mL) was stirred overnight under reflux. After cooling the system to room temperature, ethyl acetate was added, followed by washing with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine and drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Concentrating the solvent under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was distilled under reduced pressure (63° C., 8 mmHg) to provide the title compound (6.50 g, 69%).
