Participants

Reaction Steps

2,5-Dibromo-4-methylpyridine (30 g, 118 mmol), dibenzo[b,d]furan-4-ylboronic acid (25 g, 118 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (1.4 g, 1.18 mmol), and K2CO3 (49 g, 354 mmol) were added to a flask with dimethoxyethane (450 mL) and water (100 mL) and degassed with nitrogen. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 15 h before cooling to room temperature. EtOAc and water were added, the organic layer separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 3×50 mL dichloromethane and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent under reduced pressure, the crude product was chromatographed on silica gel with dichloromethane and 29.7 g of crude product was obtained. The product was crystallized from hexane to give 28.8 g (72%) of pure product. The product was confirmed by NMR and HPLC (99.3% pure)
