Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-methyl-5-nitropyridine (217 g, 1 mol) in DMF (2000 mL) was added Pd(dppf)Cl2 (5 g), saturated solution of Na2CO3 (200 mL) and pyridin-3-ylboronic acid (147 g, 1.2 mol). The mixture was stirred under argon for 6 h at 100. After cooling down, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure evaporation and the residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (mobile phase: EA:PE=1:1) to afford 4-methyl-5-nitro-2,3′-bipyridine (172 g, 80%).
