Reaction Steps

To 2-(4-bromo-5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenoxy)-6-fluoropyridine (227 mg, 0.71 mmol) were added [1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) complex with dichloromethane (58.9 mg, 0.07 mmol) and potassium carbonate (597 mg, 4.26 mmol). To the mixture were added acetonitrile (4 mL), water (1.3 mL) and vinyl boronic acid pinacol ester (180 μL, 1.07 mmol). The reaction was flushed with argon, and left to stir for 3 days at 60° C. The reaction mixture was then filtered on celite, rinsed with dichloromethane and concentrated. After purification by preparative TLC (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate: 70/30), the title product was isolated as an orange oil (166 mg, 89%).
