Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL three-necked flask were placed 2.4 g (20 mmol) of 3-pyridineboronic acid, 5.6 g (19 mmol) of para-bromoiodobenzene, and 4.5 g (42 mmol) of sodium carbonate. The atmosphere in the flask was replaced with nitrogen, and to the flask were added 15 mL of water, 25 mL of DME, and 10 mL of ethanol. The mixture was degassed by being stirred under reduced pressure, to which 0.22 g (0.19 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) was added. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen stream at 80° C. for 12 hours. After a predetermined time, water was added to the mixture, and an organic substance was extracted with chloroform from the aqueous layer. The obtained extract was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution together with the organic layer and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The mixture was subjected to suction filtration through Celite (produced by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Catalog No. 531-16855), and the filtrate was condensed to obtain an oily substance. The obtained substance was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1); thus, 1.8 g of the target yellow oily substance was obtained with a yield of 38%.
