Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2,6-Dibromo-pyridine (1.2 g, 0.508 mmol), phenylboronic acid (0.620 g, 0.508 mmol) and sodium carbonate (2 M aq., 30 mL) were dissolved in MeOH (10 mL) and toluene (30 mL) and the solution was degassed with bubbling N2 (g). Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.172 g, 0.149 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated to 100° C. overnight. After cooling the reaction was submitted to standard aqueous workup and purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
