Reaction Steps

1 M aq. Na2CO3 (20 mL) and ethanol (10 mL) were added to a solution 15 of 2-chloropyrazine (2.30 g, 20.06 mmol), 4-formylphenylboronic acid (3.90 g, 26.01 mmol) and [1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane]palladium(II) dichloride (0.60 g, 0.99 mmol) in toluene (40 mL) and the mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 4:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) yielded 1.56 g (42%) of 4-pyrazinylbenzaldehyde.
