Methanol → 2-[(Tert-butyldimethylsilanyl)ethynyl]-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-fluoropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 mL of MeOH, 10 mL of 2N aqueous sodium carbonate solution, and 94 mg (0.13 mmol) of [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene]palladium (II) chloride were added to a solution of 1.61 g (5.14 mmol) of 5-bromo-2-[(tert-butyldimethylsilanyl)ethynyl]-3-fluoropyridine and 0.90 g (5.65 mmol) of 4-chlorophenylboric acid in 30 mL of 1,4-dioxane and the mixture was refluxed for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was evaporated down in vacuo and diluted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with water and semisaturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated down in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, PE/DCM 1:1). Yield: 1.25 g (70% of theoretical); C19H21ClFNSi (M=345.913); calc.: molpeak (M+H)+: 346/348 (Cl); found: molpeak (M+H)+: 346/348 (Cl); HPLC-MS: 8.83 minutes (method B).
