Procedure

The mixture of 2,5-dibromopyridine (4.74 g, 20.0 mmol), zinc cyanide (1.40 g, 12.0 mmol), zinc dust (0.059 g, 0.90 mmol), and Pd(dppf)Cl2.CH2Cl2 (0.36 g, 0.44 mmol) in 25 ml of DMF was heated at reflux for 5 h, cooled to RT, diluted with H2O, extracted with EtOAc, the organic portion was washed with brine, the solvents were removed, the crude compound was purified by flash column chromatography (5 to 15% of EtOAc in hexanes), the titled compound was obtained as an off-white solid.
