Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.967 g) was added to a suspension of 3-bromopyridin-2-amine (4.82 g), 4-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (5.00 g) and sodium carbonate (5.91 g) in DME (250 mL) and water (50.0 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. under nitrogen for 4 hr. Water and EtOAc were added and the organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexane) and washed with IPE to give the title compound (2.80 g) as a white solid.
