Water → 3-(4-Bromophenyl)pyridine

A solution of 4-bromobenzeneboronic acid (6.0 g) in absolute ethanol (15 ml) was added slowly to a stirred mixture of a solution of 3-bromopyridine (4.7 g) in toluene (30 ml), a saturated aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (10 ml) and tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium [0] (1.0 g) under an atmosphere of argon. The mixture was then heated to reflux and stirred at reflux under an atmosphere of argon for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled and water (50 ml) added. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 ml). The ethyl acetate extracts were combined, and then extracted with 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid (3×20 ml). The acidic extracts were combined, cooled by the addition of ice and basified by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution to give a pH of 9. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 ml). These ethyl acetate extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to afford 3-(4-bromophenyl)pyridine as a colourless oil (1.2 g); NMR (CDCl3): 7.3-7.5(3H, m), 7.6(2H, d), 7.85(1H, d of t), 8.6(1H, d of d) and 8.8(1H, d).
