Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloropyridine-5-boronic acid (315 mg, CAS 444120-91-6) in isopropanol (2 ml) in a 10 mL microwave vial were added nickel iodide (18.8 mg), trans-2-aminocyclohexanol hydrochloride (9.21 mg) and sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (387 mg). Argon was bubbled into the reaction mixture for 5 min. A solution of 3-iodo-oxetane (190 mg, CAS 26272-85-5) in isopropanol (0.25 ml) was then added. The vial was then capped and heated in the microwave at 80° C. for 20 min. TLC at t=20 min showed the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOH and filtered through celite. The filter cake was washed with EtOH and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel; gradient: 0% to 50% EtOAc in heptane) to afford 2-chloro-5-oxetan-3-yl-pyridine (40 mg, 24%) as a white solid.
