Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl-3,3-dimethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (2.12 g, 6.28 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (90 mL) were added 5-bromo-2-methyl-3-nitropyridine (1.64 g, 7.54 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (642 mg, 0.556 mmol), potassium phosphate (4.96 g, 23.4 mmol) and water (22 mL). The reaction mixture was flushed with nitrogen gas and allowed to stir for 24 h at 80° C. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite® pad and washed with DCM. The filtrate was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give tert-butyl-3′,3′,6-trimethyl-5-nitro-3′,6′-dihydro-3,4′-bipyridine-1′(2′H)-carboxylate (1.3 g, 60%) as a white solid. LCMS (FA): Rt=2.16 min, m/z=348.3 (M+H).
