Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 3-bromo-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.250 g, 1.231 mmol) in THF (5.35 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added pyridin-2-ylmagnesium bromide (5.91 mL, 1.478 mmol). The reaction mixture was maintained at −78° C. for at least 1 hr, then allowed to warm to room temperature slowly over 2 hr. The reaction quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2. Layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×). The organics were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford a yellow residue. The crude material was dissolved in a minimal amount CH2Cl2 and chromatographed. Purification of the crude material by silica gel chromatography using an ISCO machine (40 g column, 40 mL/min, 1-40% EtOAc in hexanes over 25 min, tr=16 min) gave the title compound (78 mg, 0.276 mmol, 22.45% yield) as a yellow residue.
