Participants

Reaction Steps

6.0 g (18.4 mmol) of 2,2-dimethyl-5-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-4H-(1,3)benzodioxin-4-one, 7.0 g (19.0 mmol) of 2-tributylstannylpyridine, 2.3 g (55.2 mmol) of lithium chloride and 420 mg (0.36 mmol) of tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium0 are dissolved in 60 ml of dioxane and 90 ml of dimethylformamide and the mixture is refluxed for 1.5 h (reaction temperature about 120° C.). It is stirred into 1.4 l of water at 0° C. and extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether, and the extract is washed with water and sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in 60 ml of ethyl acetate, 8 g of potassium fluoride are added and the mixture is stirred overnight. The solid is filtered off and subsequently washed with plenty of ethyl acetate, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by chromatography on silica gel 60 using hexane/ethyl acetate. Yield: 2.39 g (51%). Melting point: 142° C.
