Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (5.23 g, 32.99 mmol) in dioxane (170 mL) was added 3-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenylboronic acid (6.28 g, 32.99 mmol) and 1N Na2CO3 aqueous solution (82.5 mL, 82.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was degassed using Argon gas for 20 min followed by the addition of dichlorobis(triphenylphospine)palladium(II) (1.38 g, 1.99 mmol) and 2-di-tert-butylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (1.26 g, 2.97 mmol). The reaction flask was put into the preheated oil-bath at 90° C. The reaction mixture was further stirred at 90° C. for a period of 10 h after which it was filtered and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography using a 95:5 v/v hexane:ethyl acetate as solvent to afford ethyl 3-(5-nitropyridin-2-yl)benzoate (8.0 g, 89% yield) as a bright yellow solid.
