Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Iodobiphenyl-4-ol (1 g, 3.4 mmol) was mixed with 4-(tributylstannyl)pyridazine (1.25 g 3.4 mmol), caesium fluoride (1.03 g 6.8 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (195 mg, 0.17 mmol) and copper iodide (128 mg 0.68 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL). The reaction was degassed 3 times before being placed under nitrogen and heated to 45° C. for 16 hours. The reaction was diluted with acetonitrile (20 mL), washed with heptane (2×20 mL) then absorbed onto silica and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ISCO™, 40 g, 50%-100% ethyl acetate in heptane gradient elution) to afford the title compound (270 mg, 32%) as a pale yellow solid.
