Reaction Steps

3,5-Dibromopyridine (4.4 mmol), 4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl boronic acid (5.1 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.04 mmol), 2M potassium carbonate (8.44 mmol) and dioxane (21 mL) were combined in a vial and heated by microwave for 10 min at 150° C. The reaction mixture was taken up in ether and washed with brine. The ether layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, was filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography to yield 3-bromo-5-(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-pyridine (130 mg) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.71 (m, 2H), 8.00 (t, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.34 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H); EIMS m/z 317 (M+).
