Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(3-bromo-phenyl)-oxazole VI-a (1.33 g, 5.94 mmol), 2-methoxy-3-pyridinylboronic acid (1.00 g, 6.53 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 and K2CO3 (1.81 g, 13.1 mmol) in THF (20 mL) and water (10 mL) was heated to reflux for 4 h. The mixture was cooled, then diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the residue purified by column chromatography (SiO2; eluting with 30% EtOAc in cyclohexane) to afford the desired product VI-b as brown oil which crystallized on standing (1.37 g, 91%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.18 (dd, J=1.8, 5.0 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 7.81 (s, 1H), 7.64 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 7.53-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.37 (s, 1H), 6.99 (dd, J=5.0, 7.2 Hz, 1H), 3.97 (s, 3H).
