Reaction Steps

Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium chloride (0.927 g, 1.321 mmol), 2-bromo-5-methylpyridin-4-amine (2.47 g, 13.21 mmol), sodium carbonate (6.60 mL, 13.21 mmol) and 2,5-difluorophenylboronic acid (2.71 g, 17.17 mmol) were combined and heated at 95° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled and filtered through a pad of Celite®, rinsed with dioxane (3×50 mL) and the filtrate was concentrated directly onto silica gel and then purified by column chromatography on NH silica eluted with 0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-5-methylpyridin-4-amine. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 2.05 (3H, s) 5.96 (2H, s) 7.04 (1H, d, J=2.02 Hz) 7.20-7.29 (1H, m) 7.29-7.38 (1H, m) 7.68 (1H, ddd, J=9.73, 6.19, 3.28 Hz) 8.02 (1H, s). MS [M+H] found 221.2
