Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-2-(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 3-methylphenyl boronic acid (1.76 g, 12.9 mmol), 2-bromo-3-chloropyridine (2.7 g, 14.2 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.9 g, 0.77 mmol) and 2M aq. Na2CO3 (16 mL, 32 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-(3-methylphenyl)pyridine (1.62 g, 61%) as a clear liquid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.60 (dd, 1H, J=1.4 and 4.7 Hz), 8.00 (dd, 1H, J=1.4 and 8.2 Hz), 7.44-7.37 (m, 3H), 7.25 (app d, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 2.36 (s, 3H).LCMS: 97%, MS (m/e) 204.
