Sl. Hargreaves et al., The synthesis of substituted pyridylpyrimidine fungicides using palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, TETRAHEDR L, 41(10), 2000, pp. 1653-1656
Various substituted phenyl, pyridyl and benzyl zinc chlorides have been gen
erated from the corresponding lithium or magnesium organometallic reagents.
These have been cross-coupled with 2-(6-bromo-2-pyridyl)pyrimidines in the
presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) to produce a series o
f substituted pyridylpyrimidine fungicides in 32-99% yields. (C) 2000 Elsev
