Triphenylphosphine → 3-Cyano-2-fluoropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add resin bound triphenylphosphine (4.0 g, 12.0 mmol) to a solution of 2-fluoro-nicotinamide (0.6 g, 4.3 mmol) in dichloroethane (20.0 mL) and carbon tetrachloride (20.0 mL). Reflux for 18 hours, cool to RT, filter, and concentrate the filtrate under vacuum. Purify by flash column on silica gel eluting with 10-60% EtOAc in hexanes to give the title compound (0.34 g, 64%). MS (ES) 123.1 (M+1)+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHCl3) δ 8.46 (m, 1H), 8.09 (m, 1H), 7.37 (m, 1H).
