Reaction Steps

To a round-bottomed flask was added 3-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (0.54 g, 3.1 mmol), 1-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl)ethanone (0.96 g, 3.8 mmol), trans-dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II) (0.17 g, 0.25 mmol), and sodium carbonate (0.97 g, 9.2 mmol) in DME (7.5 mL) and Water (2.5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 16 h. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The organic extract was washed with water, brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was chromatographed through a Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), eluting with a gradient of 10% to 100% EtOAc in hexane, to provide 1-(4-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridin-1(2H)-yl)ethanone (0.14 g, 21% yield) as a yellow oil. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 221.0 (M+1).
