Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2,6-dichloroisonicotinate (11.0 g, 44.3 mmol) in THF (200 mL) were added potassium vinyltrifluoroborate (7.1 g, 53.2 mmol), dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct (0.97 g, 1.33 mmol) and triethylamine (9.3 mL, 66.5 mmol). The mixture was heated to 65° C. After 1 h, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (100% hexanes→90% hexanes/ethyl acetate) gave no separation of desired product. The mixture was carried onto next step.
