Reaction Steps

A mixture of commercially available 2-bromopyridine (300 mg; 1.89 mmol), 4-fluoro-3-formylphenylboronic acid (318 mg; 1.89 mmol), Cs2CO3 (1.546 g; 4.74 mmol), Xantphos (82 mg; 0.14 mmol), and Pd2(dba)3 (43 mg; 0.04 mmol) in dioxane (4.5 ml) was heated to 80° C., under nitrogen, for 17 h. After cooling to rt, the mixture was filtered over celite, and the separated solids were washed with AcOEt. The filtrate was then washed with water, and the separated aq. layer was further extracted with AcOEt. The mixed organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification by FC (heptane/AcOEt=7/3) afforded 2-fluoro-5-(pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde as a colorless solid. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.46 min.; [M+H]+: 202.02 g/mol.
