Procedure

A mixture of 2,5-dichloropyridine (1.48 g, 10 mmol), zinc cyanide (705 mg, 0.6 mmol), zinc (dust, 29 mg, 0.45 mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (0.18 g, 0.22 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was heated at reflux for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and extracted with water and brine. Silica gel chromatography afforded 735 mg (53%) of 2-cyano-5-chloropyridine.
