Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-3-fluoro-4-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridine (212 mg; 0.7808 mmol), zinc powder (155.3 mg; 2.37 mmol), and acetic acid (3.0 mL; 47 mmol) was heated at 60° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL) filtered through celite, and evaporated under vacuum to yield the title compound in quantitative yield. LCMS (ESI): [M-pinacol]+H=156.4; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.55-8.47 (m, 2H), 2.42 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 3H), 1.33 (s, 12H).
