Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N-(3-tert-butylphenyl)-2-chloronicotinamide (570.2 mg, 2 mmol), 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (401.2 mg, 2.8 mmol), 3 mL of toluene, and 1 mL of 2 N potassium carbonate in water was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (234.5 mg, 0.2 mmol). The mixture was then heated at 90° C. for 3 hour under nitrogen, before it was cooled down to room temperature. The reaction mixture was then diluted with 30 mL of water and 150 mL of EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, and dried (Na2SO4). The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column (40% EtOAc in hexane) to give N-(3-tert-butylphenyl)-2-(3-fluorophenyl)nicotinamide (691.4 mg, 99%). MS: (ES) m/z 394.5 (M+H+).
