F r om 7. To a solution of 7 (0.80 g, 1.82 mmol) in diethyl
ether (30 mL) was added dilute HCl in water (2.5 M, 10 mL).
The mixture was vigorously stirred overnight. The ether layer
was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The
solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, furnishing a
yellowish oil which solidified on standing. Crystallization of
the product from n-hexane furnished 6 (yield 0.41 g, 1.04
mmol, 57%); mp 90-92 °C. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.26 (s, 9H,

(10 mL) at -65 °C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room
temperature, after which trimethylsilyl chloride (0.26 g, 2.36

residue was dissolved in pentane. This solution was flushed
through a silica column. The pentane was evaporated under
reduced pressure, and the residue was crystallized from
acetonitrile, furnishing 5 as white crystals (yield 0.85 g, 1.91

THF (5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux
for 6 h, after which the solvent was removed under reduced
pressure. The residue was added to the top of a small silica
column, which was flushed with dichloromethane. Evaporation
of the dichloromethane furnished a yellow solid. Crystallization
of the product from hot acetonitrile furnished yellow crystals

3-(2-P yr id yl)br om oben zen e. To a solution of 2-(trimeth-
ylstannyl)pyridine (13.3 g, 55.0 mmol) in toluene (500 mL) was
added 1-bromo-3-iodobenzene (15.7 g, 55.0 mmol) and tetrakis-
(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (5 mol %, 3.2 g, 2.75 mmol).
The mixture was heated under reflux overnight, and the
progress of the reaction was monitored by GC-MS. The crude
product was separated from the reaction mixture by extraction
with hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was neutralized with
sodium hydroxide and then extracted with diethyl ether. The
solvent was evaporated and the product distilled under
vacuum (4 mmHg, 131 °C), furnishing the pure bromide (yield

9.49 mmol) was dissolved in THF (50 mL) and the solution
cooled to -65 °C. At -65 °C a solution of n-butyllithium in
hexane (6.25 mL, 1.6 M, 10 mmol) was added, furnishing a
red suspension. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 15
min at the same temperature, dimethylformamide (0.73 g, 9.99
mmol) was added. The mixture was warmed to room temper-
ature, after which a saturated solution of ammonium chloride
in water was added. The solvent was evaporated, and the
residue was extracted with pentane. After the pentane layer
was dried with magnesium sulfate and filtered, the pentane
was evaporated from the filtrate under reduced pressure,
furnishing a white solid. Crystallization of the product from
n-hexane furnished 6 (yield 2.30 g, 5.83 mmol, 62%). The
spectral data were identical with those of 6 prepared as
described below.
