TCI Practical Example: Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of the Heterocyclic Sulfinate
We are proud to introduce the cross-coupling reaction using heterocyclic sulfinate salt as a substitute for unstable 2-pyridineboronic acid.

Procedure
-
Sodium pyridine-2-sulfinate (0.15 g，0.88 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (6.6 mg, 29 µmol), di-tert-butyl(methyl)phosphonium tetrafluoroborate (15 mg, 58 µmol), 4-bromotoluene (0.10 g, 0.58 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.16 g, 1.2 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (3 mL) were placed in a pressure vessel under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 days at 120 °C, then palladium(II) acetate (6.6 mg, 29 µmol) and di-tert-butyl(methyl)phosphonium tetrafluoroborate (15 mg, 58 µmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 4 days at 120 °C, then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer was dried by sodium sulfate, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate = 5:1 on silica gel) to give 1 as a yellow oil (29 mg, 29% yield).
