Potassium Carbonate → 3-(2,3,4-Trimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-2-fluoro-4,5-dimethylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (3.37 mmol) of 3-(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-2-fluoro-4-iodo-5-methylpyridine obtained in Step (c), 1.40 g (10.1 mmol) of potassium carbonate, 0.39 g (0.34 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, 15 ml of dioxane and 0.42 g (1.67 mmol) of 50% trimethylboroxin were mixed, followed by reflux with heating for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, filtration on the pad of celite and washing with ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran were carried out, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the obtained crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 0.79 g (yield: 70%) of 3-(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-2-fluoro-4,5-dimethylpyridine (Compound No. 19).
