2-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (848 mg, 5137 μmol), cesium carbonate (2008 mg, 6164 μmol) and ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (854 mg, 5137 μmol) were combined in DMSO (12 mL) and heated to 80° C. overnight. After complete disappearance of starting material, the mixture was cooled to RT and diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate.
