Cesium carbonate → 3-(Cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-bromopyridine (0.38 g, 2.40 mmol), 2-cyclohex-1-en-1-yl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.50 g, 2.40 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.14 g, 0.12 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.72 g, 5.29 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (8.0 mL) and water (4.0 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 4 hours. After allowing to cool, the reaction solution was subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After vacuum concentration, the residue was purified with column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=2:1) to yield the title compound (347.3 mg, 99%) as a colorless oil.
