Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-6-iodo-3-isopropoxy-pyridine (2.00 g, 6.722 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (15 mL). Zn(CN)2 (592 mg, 5.04 mmol) was added, and the mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas prior to the addition of Pd(PPh3)4 (600 mg, 0.519 mmol). The reaction system was sealed and heated under microwave irradiation at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (75 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (75 mL) followed by brine (75 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a clear oil which was purified by silica gel column chromatography: 0-30% EtOAc/hexane gradient to provide 6-chloro-5-isopropoxy-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (1.17 g, 88%) as a clear colourless oil that crystallized upon standing. ESI-MS m/z calc. 196.0, found 197.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.46 minutes (3 min run). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.61 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.67 (dt, J=12.1, 6.1 Hz, 1H), 1.45 (d, J=6.1 Hz, 6H).
