Reaction Steps

2,6-Dibromophenyl benzyl ether (25.61 g, 74.88 mmol), 3-pyridylboronicacid (20.25 g, 164.7 mmol), aqueous potassium carbonate (233 mL 2 M), and DMF (370 mL) were put together in a 1 liter flask. Oxygen was removed by several vacuum-argon cycles. Then Pd(PPh3)4 (5.38 g, 4.65 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 85° C. under an argon atmosphere. After 48 hr, the reaction mixture was cooled to rt, and poured into an ice/water mixture (1 L). This was extracted with diisopropylether (3 times 300 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo, yielding a yellow crystalline solid. Recrystallisation from diethyl ether yielded the product as a white crystalline solid (10.34 g, 41%). The residue was further purified by column chromatography (silicagel, EtOAc/n-pentane=3:2), yielding another 2.60 g (10%) of the product (total yield 51%). 1H-NMR(CDCl3):δ=8.80 (s, 2H), 8.59 (d, 2H), 7.93 (dd, 2H), 7.65 (d, 2H), 7.34 (m, 3H), 7.19 (t, 1H), 7.10 (t, 2H), 6.64 (d, 2H), 4.15 (s, 2H) ppm.
