Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (0.50 g, 1.8 mmol, Anichem), (2-Ethenyl)tri-n-butyltin (919 μL, 3.14 mmol, Aldrich) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (428 mg, 0.370 mmol, Strem) in toluene (4.2 mL) was degassed by a stream of nitrogen through the solution for 15 minutes. Triethylamine (774 μL, 5.56 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, water and 1N NaOH were added and the product was extracted with four portions of ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was then treated with 1N HCl to achieve a pH between 4 and 5, and was extracted with six portions of 10% isopropanol in chloroform. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford crude product, which was used without further purification in Step B. H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.40 (d, J=1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 6.82 (dd, J=17.6, 10.9 Hz, 1H), 6.23 (d, J=17.4 Hz, 1H), 5.78 (d, J=10.9 Hz, 1H); LCMS (M+H)+: 218.1.
