Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → 2-Fluoro-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-2-fluoro-pyridine (500 mg, 2.84 mmol), 4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (656 mg, 3.12 mmol), K3PO4 (1.2 g, 5.68 mmol), and Pd (dppf)Cl2 (208 mg, 0.284 mmol) in 1,4-Dioxane/H2O (5:1) (30 mL) was heated to reflux overnight under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated and purification by prep-TLC to give 2-fluoro-3-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-pyridine (260 mg, 1.45 mmol, 51.2%).
