Application

5-Methyl-2-pyridylzinc bromide can be used as a substrate:
  • In the Pd-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions with 3-iodothiophene.
  • In the Pd-catalyzed synthesis of 5-heteroaryl- and 5-aryl-2-furaldehydes by reacting with 5-bromo-2-furaldehyde.

2-Pyridyl and 3-pyridylzinc bromides: direct preparation and coupling reaction
Kim S and Rieke RD
Tetrahedron, 66(17), 3135-3146 (2010)
A convenient synthesis of 5-aryl-and 5-heteroaryl-2-furaldehydes by the cross-coupling reaction of organozincs

Facile synthetic routes for the preparation of a wide range of 5-substituted 2-furaldehydes have been revealed. They were accomplished through either Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of various aryl- and heteroarylzinc halides with 5-bromo-2-furaldehyde or utilization of a new organozinc reagent, 5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-2-furanylzinc
