Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.73 g (11.3 mmol) trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid 2-methyl-pyridin-3-yl ester, 3.16 g (12.4 mmol) bis(pinacolato)diboron, 3.33 g (33.9 mmol) potassium acetate and 0.46 g (0.56 mmol) dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct in 75 ml N,N-dimethylformamide was heated at 80° C. over night under argon. After cooling to room temperature 5.40 g (17.0 mmol) 5-bromo-2-chloro-4-iodo-pyridine, another portion of 0.46 g (0.56 mmol) dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct and 30 ml of a deoxygenated 2 M aqueous solution of sodium carbonate were added. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 4.5 h. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with three portions of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography gave 1.00 (31%) of the title compound as a light yellow solid.
