Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)pyridine was synthesized analogous to the reaction conditions used in the preparation of 5-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-1H-indazole by heating the mixture of 4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl boronic acid (1.0 g, 6.5 mmol), 2-bromo-3-chloropyridine (1.4 g, 7.1 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.45 g, 0.38 mmol) and 2M aq. Na2CO3 (8 mL, 16 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (125 mL) under argon atmosphere for 3 h. Upon work-up of the reaction mixture, as discussed in the preparation of 5-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)-1H-indazole, the crude concentrate was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography [Combiflash® companion System® with RediSep® silica gel column 40 g, 10-30% EtOAC/hexanes eluting solvent gradient upon liquid loading on to column] to obtain 3-chloro-2-(4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)pyridine as a white solid (790 mg, 54%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.60 (dd, 1H, J=1.4 and 4.7 Hz), Hz), 8.02 (dd, 1H, J=1.4 and 8.2 Hz), 7.57 (app d, 1H, J=7.3 Hz), 7.54-7.49 (m, 1H), 7.42 (dd, 1H, J=4.7 and 8.2 Hz), 7.23 (t, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 2.28 (s, 3H).LCMS: 97%, MS (m/e) 222.
