Sodium Carbonate → 3-Chloro-2-(p-tolyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

{circle around (2)} 100 g (0.676 mol) of 2,3-dichloropyridine was dissolved in 500 mL of ethanol, and 91.87 g (0.676 mol) of p-tolylboronic acid and 78 g (0.0676 mol) of Pd(PPh3)4 were sequentially added. A solution of 86 g (0.811 mol) of sodium carbonate in 500 mL of distilled water was placed in the reactor, and the mixture was heated to reflux for 4˜6 hours so as to allow it to react. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove ethanol, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was treated with magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure, yielding 3-chloro-2-para-tolylpyridine as represented below in a 87% yield.
