Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Bromopyridine (650 μL), 4-nitrophenylboronic acid (1.479 g) and palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (391.5 mg) were added to a mixture of 40 mL of dimethoxyethane and 10 mL of 2.0 M aqueous potassium carbonate under an atmosphere of dry N2. The reaction mixture was heated at 95° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and diluted with water (200 mL). The resulting precipitate was collected, washed with water and air-dried. The dried material was purified using silica gel chromatography to give 1.40 g of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)pyridine.
