Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of nBuLi (1.6 M in hexane, 29.0 mL, 46.4 mmol) in diisopropyl ether (80 mL) was added 3-bromo-2,5-dichloropyridine (10.5 g, 46.4 mmol) in diisopropylether (60 mL) slowly at −78° C. The resulting suspension was treated with 2-fluoro-3-methoxy-6-vinylbenzaldehyde (7.6 g, 42.2 mmol) in diisopropylether (60 mL) and benzene (3 mL), and allowed to stir at −78° C. for 30 min followed by warming to room temperature as the bath did. The mixture was treated with saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography to afford the title compound.
