4-Formylphenylboronic Acid → 7-Chloro-2-(4-formylphenyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-chloro-2-iodo-thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (1.00 g, 3.12 mmol), 4-formylphenylboronic acid (936 mg, 6.24 mmol) and 108 mgs of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) in 30 mL of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether and 25 mL of aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate is heated at reflux for 4 hours. The mixture is cooled and the precipitate is collected by filtration washing with ethyl acetate and diethyl ether to provide 818 mg of 7-chloro-2-(4-formylphenyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-6-carbonitrile as a yellow solid, mp 300-305° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.93 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7.96 (s, 1H), 8.03 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 8.87 (s, 1H), 10.1 (s, 1H), MS 298.0, 300.0 (M−H)−H.
