Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of tributylstannylpyridine (8.0 g, 21.7 mmol) and 2,3-dibromofuran (5.9 g, 26.1 mmol) in dry toluene (200 ml) was treated with bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride (1.5 g, 2.2 mmol) and heated at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate to afford the title compound (1.2 g, 25%); 1H NMR (CDCl3) 8.66 (2H, d, J 11 Hz), 7.84 (2H, d, J 11 Hz), 7.50 (1H, d, J 3 Hz), 6.60 (1H, d, J 3 Hz).
