2-Bromopyridine → 2-(Pyridin-2-yl)oxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Tributylstannyl)oxazole (1.00 g, 2.79 mmol), (Ph3P)4Pd (0.1 equiv), and 2-bromopyridine (2 equiv) were dissolved in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (15 mL) and the mixture was warmed at reflux for 24 h under Ar. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with saturated aqueous NaCl and dried over Na2SO4. Evaporation in vacuo yielded the crude product that was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 10-60% EtOAc-hexanes) to yield the title compound (275 mg, 67%) as a light yellow oil: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 8.63 (m, 1H), 8.04 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.73-7.70 (m, 2H), 7.26-7.22 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125 MHz) δ 161.0, 150.2, 146.4, 140.1, 137.3, 129.1, 125.0, 122.3.
