Cesium fluoride → 2',6'-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)-2,3'-bipyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-Bromo-2,6-bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)pyridine (0.4 g, 0.92 mmol), 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine (0.4 g, 1.10 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.053 g, 0.046 mmol), and Cesium fluoride (0.28 g, 1.83 mmol) in Toluene (30 ml) was stirred under reflux for 2 days. After cooling down to room temperature the reaction was quenched with saturated CsF aqueous solution (100 mL). The product was extracted with ethylacetate. The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel and obtained as white solide (Rf=0.5 in Ethylacetate:hexane=1:4, Yield=50 mg (12.5%))
