86. Recently, the synthesis of 5-(4-anisyl)-1-methyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-1H-imidazole via a Pd-catalyzed Negishi-type reaction was described [Dobler, M. R. Tetrahedron Lett. 2003, 44, 7115]. Unfortunately, the yield of this cross-coupling reaction and the procedure used to prepare the substrate of this reaction were not reported.
