Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4 dichloro-3-(1-fluoroethyl)-bromobenzene (3.4 g, 12.5 mmol), 4-acetylamino-3-chloro-6-trimethylstannyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, methyl ester (4.7 g, 12.5 mmol), copper iodide (0.4 g, 2.1 mmol), cesium fluoride (3.6 g, 25 mmol) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.14 g, 2 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 2 hours. Water (100 mL) was added the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (15%-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 4-acetylamino-3-chloro-6-[2,4 dichloro-3-(1-fluoroethyl)phenyl]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, methyl ester which was used without further purification.
