Procedure

Next, a pure solution of 4-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (18 g, 54 mmol) in THF (˜200 mL) was treated with 2-pyridylzinc bromide 0.5 molar solution in THF (from Aldrich, brown color) (124 mL, 62.5 mmol, 1.15 eq.) followed by Pd(PPh3)4 (from Strem Chemicals) (625 mg). The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 90 minutes. The THF was removed by rotary evaporator. Ethyl acetate (300 mL) and 1 N NaOH (200 mL) were added to the residue, and the zinc salts were removed by filtration. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine (300 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated on the rotary evaporator to give brown oil. Purification by flash chromatography using Hexane:Ethyl acetate 6:4 as eluent gave 9.0 g (64% yield) of 3′,6′-dihydro-2′H-[2,4′]bipyridinyl-1′-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.43 (s, 9H), 2.56 (m, 2H), 3.54 (t, 2H), 4.04 (m, 2H), 6.08 (m, 1H), 7.25 (dd, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (m, 1H), 8.54 (m, 1H); MS (DCI—NH3) m/z 259 (M+H)+, 277 (M+H+18)+
