Furan-3-boronic acid → HCID 22631052, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3-furanboronic acid (672 mg, 6 mmol) in 2M aq. Na3CO3 (10 mL, 20 mmol) and ethanol (8 mL) was added to a solution of 2-(4-bromo-phenyl)pyrimidine (1.30 g, 5.55 mmol, prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,780,473) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (693 mg, 0.60 mmol) in DME (30 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 18 h, cooled to rt, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 and brine, dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by medium pressure liquid chromatography (SiO2, 3:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) gave 793 mg (65%) of the title compound. MS 223 (M+H)+.
