Reaction Steps

Starting with 2-chloro-4-methylpyridine II, treatment with n-butyllithium in the presence of N,N-dimethylaminoethanol in hexane, followed by addition of carbon tetrabromide in THF affords 2-bromo-6-chloro-4-methylpyridine III. Compound III undergoes a palladium coupling with boronic acid IV in the presence of a base, such as Na2CO3, in a suitable solvent, such as DME, to give chloropyridine V.
