Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Synthesized according to General Procedure 36. A mixture of 1-bromo-3,5-dichloro-benzene (424 mg, 1.88 mmol), 3-pyridineboronic acid pinacol ester (500 mg, 2.44 mmol), aqueous 2M Na2CO3 (1.96 mL, 3.93 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (89 mg, 4 mol %) in anhydrous toluene (18 mL) was stirred overnight at 80° C. under nitrogen. The reaction was cooled down to room temperature, diluted with water (5 ml) and ethyl acetate (10 ml). The organic phase was separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a pale yellow oil, which was purified by silica-gel column chromatography to give 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyridine (481 mg, 74%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.81 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 8.65 (dd, J=1.4, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 7.85-7.82 (m, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 2H), 7.41-7.38 (m, 2H). LC/MS (10%-99% CH3CN (0.035% TFA)/H2O (0.05% TFA)), m/z: M+1 obs=224.3; tR=1.21 min.
