Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,3-dibromopyridine (2.0 g, 8.44 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was treated with tributyl(vinyl)tin (2.94 g, 9.29 mmol), LiCl (1.07 g, 25.32 mmol), and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.296 g, 0.422 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was extracted with hexanes (3×50 mL). The combined hexane layers were extracted with 1N HCl. The aqueous layer was neutralized with 1N NaOH, extracted with hexanes, and the extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide the desired product as a yellowish oil (0.83 g, 53% yield). MS m/z 184(MH+); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 5.53 (dd, J=10.80, 2.01 Hz, 1H), 6.33 (dd, J=16.83, 1.83 Hz, 1H), 7.08-7.26 (m, 2H), 7.96 (dd J=8.05, 1.46 Hz, 1H), 8.44 (dd, J=4.76, 1.46 Hz, 1H); 13C NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 121.9, 122.4, 125.7, 134.9, 142.8, 149.5, 154.5.
