Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (10.0 g), cesium carbonate (42 g), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II)dichloridedichloromethane complex (1.88 g), and N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-boronic acid pinacol ester (15 g) in 1,4-dioxane (150 ml) and water (50 ml) was stirred at 110° C. for 2.5 hours. To the reaction solution was added water, extracted with chloroform, the organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The obtained solid was washed with a mixed solution of n-hexane and ethyl acetate to give 4-(3-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2-yl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (13.25 g) as a red solid.
