Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 5,6-dichloronicotinate (1 eq), zinc cyanide (0.75 eq) and tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (0.10 eq.) in DMF (0.3 M) was degassed and then heated at 100° C. for 3 hours. Solvent was removed en vaccuo to obtain a crude residue. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give ethyl 5-chloro-6-cyanonicotinate as a white solid.
