TCI Practical Example: Cross-Coupling Reaction Using the Allylsulfonylpyridine Derivative
We are proud to present the C-C cross-coupling reaction of 2-(allylsulfonyl)-5-methylpyridine and 4-bromoanisole.

Procedure
-
2-(Allylsulfonyl)-5-methylpyridine (592 mg, 3.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv.), palladium(II) acetate (22 mg, 0.1 mmol, 5 mol%), tBu2PMe·HBF4 (50 mg, 0.2 mmol, 10 mol%) and cesium carbonate (1.30 g, 4.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv.) were added to a pressure-resistant test tube and the test tube was purged with nitrogen. Then, DMF (10 mL) and 4-bromoanisole (0.25 mL, 2.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) were added in one portion at room temperature and the resulting mixture was stirred at 150 °C for 17 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched with water (10 mL). The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (100 mL x 3), dried with Na2SO4 (20 g) and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane = 5:95 - 18:82) to afford 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methylpyridine (1) as a yellow solid (196 mg, 49% yield).

Experimenter’s Comments
-
The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (ethyl acetate:hexane = 1:5, Rf = 0.37).
DMF was dehydrated by MS4A for 16 h and degassed by bubbling with nitrogen gas for 30 minutes before use.
