Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)oxetan-3-ol (example 123a, 5.0 g, 22.7 mmol) in dry DMF (100 ml) under argon atmosphere was added dicyanozinc (1.47 g, 12.5 mmol), DPPF (1.26 g, 2.27 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (1.04 g, 1.14 mmol). The reaction mixture was then stirred at 100° C. for two hours. DMF was removed in vacuo and the obtained residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and poured into a separatory funnel. The organic phase was extracted with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride (colloids formed and were removed by filtration on a pad of celite). The organic phase was collected and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with ethyl acetate. Combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated down to dryness. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica eluting with a heptane/ethyl acetate gradient to yield the title compound (4.1 gr, 86%); MS (ESI, m/z): 211.1 (M+H+).
