Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(3-bromo-5-cyanophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1.005 g, 3.21 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (369 mg, 0.32 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was treated with vinyl tributyl tin (0.985 mL, 3.36 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 85° C. for 18 hours. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was dried by filtration through an EX-TUBE. Silica gel chromatography afforded 691 mg (78%) of 3-(pyrid-2-yl)-5-(3-cyano-5-vinylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole: 1H-NMR (CDCl3), δ (ppm): □□□□□□ (s, 1H), 8.52 (s, 1H), 8.43 (s, 1H), 8.23 (d, 1H), 7.90 (m, 2H), 7.48 (m, 1H), 6.78 (dd, 1H), 5.98 (d, 1H), 5.55 (d, 1H).
