Procedure

Pd(PPh3)4 (3.0 g, 2.6 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-chloro-3-carboxyethylpyridine (25 g, 134.7 mmol), phenylboronic acid (21.04 g, 172.6 mmol) and K2CO3 (55.1 g, 399 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (200 mL) and water (200 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 h. The solution was then cooled to room temperature and the dioxane was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered through celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 10-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to get the 2-phenylpyridine derivative in 91% yield (27.98 g). LC-MS Rt (retention time): 2.45 min, MS: (ES) m/z 228 (M+H+).
