Sodium Carbonate → 4-(4-Bromophenyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using similar reaction conditions as described in step i of intermediate 9, 4-bromo pyridine (2 g, 8.44 mmol) was coupled with (4-bromophenyl) boronic acid (1 g, 9.2 mmol) in sodium carbonate (3.57 g, 33.7 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (487 mg, 0.422 mmol) and toluene/ethanol/water (50/50/20 ml) to afford 2.2 g of the crude product which was taken as such for next reaction. LCMS: 235.9 m/z=(M+2).
