The double Suzuki cross-coupling reaction has successfully been applied for the synthesis of 5, 5′-(5-butoxy-1, 3-phenylene) bis (2-chloropyrimidine) with two reactive chloro groups and an alkoxy side chain starting from 2-chloropyrimidin-5-ylboronic acid and 1, 3-dibromo- 5-butoxybenzene. The reactivity of this dielectrophile was tested by reaction with aniline and phenol, a nitrogen and oxygen nucleophile, respectively. The new dielectrophile would ...
