Reaction Steps

Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (20 mg) in a 10 mL flask under Ar was treated sequentially with 6-bromo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)chroman-4-one (300 mg, 1 mmol) in [1,4]dioxane (40 mL), Cs2CO3 (2 N, 5 mL) and 3-cyanophenylboronic acid (250 mg, 1 mmol). The mixture was heated at 120° C. under Ar in a microwave reactor for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the residue, which was purified by preparative TLC to give 3-(4-oxo-2-(pyridin-2-yl)chroman-6-yl)benzonitrile (110 mg, 60%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 3.13 (m, 2H), 5.61 (m, 1H), 7.13 (m, 1H), 7.27 (m, 1H), 7.49 (m, 1H), 7.58 (m, 2H), 7.68 (m, 1H), 7.79 (m, 3H), 8.09 (d, 1H), 8.58 (d, 1H).
