To 2-fluoro-4-iodopyridine (500 mg, 2.2 mmol) and cesium carbonate (730 mg, 2.2 mmol) was added THF (5 mL) and MeOH (0.091 mL, 2.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. for 24 hours in a sealed tube. The cooled mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to yield the title compound. MS m/z=236 [M+1]+. Calc'd for C6H61NO: 235.03.
