Reaction Steps

2-thienylboronic acid (Lancaster Synthesis, Inc., 1.00 g, 7.81 mmol), 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyrdine (Adrich Chemical Co., 1.417 g, 7.81 mmol), tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium(0) (Aldrich, 451 mg, 0.391 mmol), potassium carbonate (EM Science, 3.24 g, 23.4 mmol), water (20 mL), and dimethoxyethane (Aldrich, 20 mL) were allowed to stir at reflux for 20 hours under N2, after which time the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the organic and aqueous layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 3×50 mL of diethyl ether, and the combined organic fractions were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography with CH2Cl2/hexanes (1:1) as the eluent (product Rf=0.5), to afford the product as a white crystalline solid (yield=5.2 g, 73% isolated yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 296 K, 300 MHz): δ=7.73-7.57 (2H, m), 7.55 (1H, d, J=8.5 Hz), 7.34 (1H, d, J=4.8 Hz), 6.88 (1H, d, J=4.8 Hz) ppm. 19F NMR (CDCl3, 296 K, 282 MHz) δ=−62.78 ppm.
