Procedure

2-([1,1′-Biphenyl]-3-yl)-5-bromo-4-methylpyridine 11.5 g (35.5 mmol), 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriborinane (5.57 g, 44.3 mmol), dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-yl)phosphine (1.2 g, 2.84 mmol), Pd2dba3 (0.650 g, 0.709 mmol) and potassium phosphate tribasic monohydrate, 250 mL toluene and 25 mL of water were placed in flask under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was degassed with nitrogen for 20 minutes and heated to reflux for 24 h. After cooling, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted 3×50 mL with dichloromethane, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel with 5% dichloromethane in hexane to give 8.0 g (87%) of the product. The product was confirmed by NMR and GC/MS.
