Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-8-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (10.2 g, 35.4 mmol) and 2-fluoropyridin-3-ylboronic acid (5.00 g, 35.5 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (200 mL) and aqueous sodium carbonate (53.2 mL, 106 mmol, 2N) under argon atmosphere was added palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (1.23 g, 1.06 mmol). The mixture was heated and stirred at 85° C. for 1 h., then cooled to room temperature. Ethyl acetate was added and the mixture was washed with water, saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was purified by silica gel chromatography to give 2-fluoro-3-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-8-yl)pyridine. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 236.1 (M+1).
