Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-methyl-3-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxymethyl)-pyridine (500 mg. 2.07 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (16.5 mL) and water (7 mL). K2CO3 (286 mg. 2.07 mmol) and 2,4,6-trivinyl-cyclotriboroxane pyridine complex (498 mg. 2.07 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was degassed two times before the addition of Pd((PPh3)4 (120 mg. 0.10 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 18 h. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (elution with hexane/EtOAc 6:1) to give the title compound. MS (m/z): 234.1 [M+H+]
