Reaction Steps

Into a 2 L 3-necked round-bottom flask, purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of pyridin-4-ylboronic acid (30 g, 244 mmol, 1 equiv) in 2-propanol/water (800/40 mL), Na2CO3 (77.3 g, 729 mmol, 3 equiv), Pd(OAc)2 (5.46 g, 24.3 mmol, 0.1 equiv), PPh3 (12.75 g, 48.7 mmol, 0.2 equiv) and 3-bromobenzaldehyde (45 g, 243 mmol, 1 equiv). The mixture was stirred for 48 h at 80° C. in an oil bath. Then the solids were filtered out and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 1:1 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to give 30 g of 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzaldehyde as orange oil.
