Potassium Carbonate → HCID 22030186, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a mixture of 2-chloro-3-trifluoromethylpyridine (37 g, 0.2 mol), 2-methoxypyridine-5-boronic acid (32 g, 0.21 mol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (9 g, 7 mmol) and 2M potassium carbonate (150 mL) in toluene (500 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere at 90° C. for 8 hours. Cool the reaction mixture and separate the layers. Extract the aqueous layer with ethyl acetate (2×250 mL) and wash the combined organics with 4M sodium hydroxide (250 mL), water (250 mL), and brine (250 mL). Dry (MgSO4) and concentrate under reduced pressure. Purify the resulting oil by flash chromatography on silica gel (50% ether/50% hexane) to give the title compound (48.2 g, 95%) as a colorless oil.
