Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-3-methoxy-benzonitrile (400 mg, 1.88 mmol), 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (440 mg, 1.88 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (108 mg, 0.15 mmol) and Na2CO3 (2M in water, 1.88 mL, 3.77 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (8 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 1.5 h. After concentration in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by flash column to give the title compound (449 mg, 100%) as white solid; ESI-MS m/z: 239 [M+1]+.
