2-Bromopyridine → 3-(Pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

2M aq. Na2CO3 (5 mL) and a solution of 3-formylphenylboronic acid (1.14 g, 7.60 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) were added to a solution of 2-bromopyridine (1.00 g, 6.33 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.22 g, 0.19 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) and the mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 and brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, 4:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) yielded 1.03 g (89%) of the title compound. MS 184 (M+H)+.
