Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 1,4-dioxane were added 3.22 g of 4-iodopyridine, 10.87 g of potassium carbonate, 0.036 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphinepalladium) and 5.5 g of 1-(trifluoromethyl)vinylboronic acid, and the mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 8 hours. Thereafter, this solution was poured into an aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution, followed by extraction with diethyl ether three times. The organic layers were combined, washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2.0 g of 4-[1-(trifluoromethyl)ethenyl]pyridine.
