A mixture of Example 61B (0.1 g, 0.282 mmol), 2-fluoro-4-(tributylstannyl)pyridine (0.11 g, 0.285 mmol) triethylamine (0.11 g, 1.1 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.039 g, 0.01 mmol) and tri-o-tolylphosphine (0.007 g, 0.023 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 6 hr. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with sat NaHCO3, H2O and brine, then evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 20% to 80% ethylacetate in hexane to provide the desired product. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 4.10 (s, 2 H) 5.75 (s, 1 H) 7.44-7.53 (m, 4 H) 7.68-7.74 (m, 2 H) 7.83-7.88 (m, 2 H) 8.04 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 1 H) 8.11 (d, J=6.71 Hz, 1 H) 8.30 (d, J=5.49 Hz, 1 H).
