Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4nitropyridine (0.40 g, 2.56 mmol), pyridin-3-ylboronic acid (0.408, 3.32 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphinepalladium(0) (0.18 g, 0.15 minol) and sodium carbonate (0.489 g, 4.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (9 mL) and water (9 mL) was heated at 80° C. overnight. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic solutions were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on basic alumina to give 4-nitro-2,3′-bipyridine (350 mg, 70%) as a pale yellow solid. LCMS: (FA) ES+ 202.1.
