Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[3,5-difluoro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy]tetrahydro-2H-pyran (0.436 g, 1.28 mmol), methyl 6-bromo-5-fluoropyridine-2-carboxylate (0.300 g, 1.28 mmol) and DIPEA (0.67 mL, 3.8 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (6 mL) and water (0.3 mL) was purged with nitrogen and then bis(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium (65.5 mg, 0.128 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was sealed and heated at 120° C. for 40 min., then cooled and filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give methyl 6-[2,6-difluoro-4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yloxy)phenyl]-5-fluoropyridine-2-carboxylate.
