Reaction Steps

5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (200 mg, 1 mmol), 2-amino-4-bromopyridine (220 mg, 1.3 mmol), sodium carbonate (490 mg, 4.6 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (130 mg, 0.12 mmol) were all placed in a round bottom flask and 1,4-dioxane (3 mL) and water (1 mL) were added. The mixture was heated to 85° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (1×). The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (12 g silica gel column, 0-100% v/v ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient elution) to afford the title compound (242 mg).
