Uses
Pyridine-4-boronic acid can be used as a candidate for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Especially, as a N-containing building blocks, pyridine-4-boronic acid was employed to construct some heterocyclic compounds with superior biological activities.
Description
Pyridine-4-boronic acid is a kind of boronic acid derivative. It is useful building blocks in crystal engineering. It can also be used as a catalyst to act as a dehydrative condensation agent to synthesize amides using carboxylic acid and amines as raw materials. Its derivative, polystyrene-bound 4-pyridineboronic acid, is a useful catalyst for amidation reaction and esterification of alpha-hydrocarboxylic acids.

- Ligand-free palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction under microwave irradation
Reagent used in Preparation of
- HIV-1 protease inhibitors
- Potential cancer threapeutics, such as PDK1 and protein kinase CK2 inhibitors
Synthesis
Under argon protection, 4-bromopyridine (1.5 g, 10 mmol) was placed in a 200 mL Schlenk flask and 40 mL of anhydrous deoxytetrahydrofuran was added. After cooling the reaction mixture to -78 °C, 5 mL (2.2 M, 11 mmol) of n-butyllithium solution was slowly added dropwise and the reaction was maintained at this temperature for 1 hour. Subsequently, 4 mL of trimethyl borate was added and the reaction continued at -78 °C for 1 hour. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution and purified by recrystallization from hexane to give pyridine-4-boronic acid hydrochloride (0.8 g, 65% yield).
