(4-Methoxyphenyl)boronic acid → 2,3-Dimethoxy-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 4 Method B: The title compound was prepared from 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxypyridine (1 eq, 1.83 mmol, 0.40 g) and 4-methoxyphenyl boronic acid (1 eq, 1.83 mmol, 0.28 g) according to the procedure described for Example 1 Step 3. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using cyclohexane/AcOEt 90/10 as eluent to afford the title compound 2,3-dimethoxy-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine (0.82 mmol, 0.20 g, 45%) was obtained.
