Procedure

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (2.0 g) is added to a flask charged with a stir bar, phenethylzinc bromide (0.5 mol/L in tetrahydrofuran, 100 mL), 2,3-dibromopyridine (10.50 g), and tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) and kept under argon atmosphere at room temperature. The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 h and at 40° C. for another 16 h. After cooling the mixture to room temperature, the solvent is evaporated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 90:10→75:25) to afford the title compound as an oil that solidified upon treatment with ether. Yield: 9.32 g (81% of theory); LC (method 1): tR=4.28 min; Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=262/264 (Br) [M+H]+.
