Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-2-fluoropyridine (2 g, 1.53 ml, 15.2 mmol, Eq: 1.00) and cyclopropanecarbonitrile (1.02 g, 1.15 ml, 15.2 mmol, Eq: 1.00) in toluene (20.0 ml) was added dropwise over 5 min. KHMDS 0.5 M in toluene (30.4 ml, 15.2 mmol, Eq: 1.00) at 0° C. The solution turned brown. After 45 min, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to 22° C. and stirred for 2.5 h. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution (50 ml) was then added and the aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt (3×60 ml). The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concertrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 70 g, 0% to 20% EtOAc in heptane) to yield the title compound as a white solid (840 mg; 31%). m/z=179.0373 [M+H]+.
