4-Vinylpyridine → 2-[3-[(E)-2-[5-[(E)-2-(4-pyridyl)vinyl]pyridin-3-yl]vinyl]phenylamino]-3-nitropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[3-[(E)-2-(5-bromopyridin-3-yl)vinyl]phenylamino]-3-nitropyridine (800 mg), 4-vinylpyridine (233 mg), palladium(II) acetate (27 mg), tetra-n-butylammonium chloride (616 mg) and sodium bicarbonate (432 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 ml) was stirred at 120pbC. for 4 hours. The mixture was poured into sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic solution was washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was crystallized from ethanol to give 2-[3-[(E)-2-[5-[(E)-2-(4-pyridyl)vinyl]pyridin-3-yl]vinyl]phenylamino]-3-nitropyridine (346 mg).
