Procedure

A solution of 5-bromo-2-chloro-4-methoxypyridine (5.0 g, 22.48 mmol) in DMF (80 mL) was purged with nitrogen for 15 minutes. At this point, Zn(CN)2 (3.96 g, 33.7 mmol) and Pd(Ph3P)4 (2.60 g, 2.25 mmol) were added, successively. The resulting suspension was stirred at 95° C. for 12 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, and filtered to remove inorganic solid. The solvent (DMF) was evaporated to provide the crude residue as an oil, which was purified on silica gel and eluted with 0-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford the product.
