Tributylvinyltin → 6-Ethenylpyridine-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a condenser was charged with 6-Chloro-nicotinonitrile (500 mg, 3.61 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (42 mg, 0.036 mmol), PPh3 (28.4 mg, 0.11 mmol), toluene (20 mL) and tributyl-vinyl-stannane (1.37 g, 4.33 mmol) under argon. The mixture was heated to reflux for three hours, then cooled to RT, quenched with water (12 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (30 mL) three times. The organic layer was combined and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5% EtOAc/Hexane) to afford compound 384A as a light yellow oil (535 mg). HPLC retention time=1.43 min. (condition A), M+=131.
