A process is described for the preparation of arylpyridine compounds by aryl-aryl cross-coupling reactions between a halopyridine and an arylmagnesium halide carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of a zinc salt and a catalytic amount of palladium complex with a bidentate phosphine. The zinc salt is preferably selected from ZnCl
2
, ZnBr
2
and/or Zn(OAc)
2
, while the palladium complex with a bidentate phosphine is preferably selected from the group of (1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)palladium(II) chloride, (1,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)palladium(II) chloride and (1,4-Bis(diphenylphosphino)butane)palladium(II) chloride. Most preferred is (1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)palladium(II) chloride. It is thus possible to obtain molar yields higher than 95% calculated on the arylmagnesium halide and a catalyticity less than 1:1500. The process is particularly suitable for the preparation of 4-(2′-pyridyl)benzaldehyde which can then effectively been converted to N1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-N2-(4-(2′pyridyl)benzyl)hydrazine.
