Reaction Steps

In a similar fashion, Pd(PPh3)4 (25 mg, 0.022 mmol) was added to a solution of hexamethylditin (163 mg, 0.50 mmol) and 5-fluoro-2-bromopyridine (87 mg, 0.49 mmol) in toulene (4 mL) under argon. The resulting solution was stirred at 80° C. for 15 h. After cooling to room temperature, a second portion of Pd(PPh3)4 (25 mg, 0.022 mmol) and 3-(5-bromofuran-2-yl)-benzonitrile (105 mg, 0.42 mmol) were added and the resulting solution was stirred at 110° C. for 48 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and passed through a 1 g silica gel SPE tube using dichloromethane to elute the product. Flash chromatography (silica gel, 50-100% dichloromethane in hexane) afforded 48.4 mg (43%) of 3-(5-(5-fluoro-2-pyridyl)-2-furyl)-benzonitrile (pure by GC/MS). 1H-NMR (CDCl3), δ (ppm): 8.48 (d, 1H), 8.03 (s, 1H), 7.95 (m, 1H), 7.81 (m, 1H), 7.51 (m, 3H), 7.11 (d, 1H), 6.87 (d, 1H).
