Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium carbonate (29.0 mL, 58.0 mmol, 2.0 M in water) was added via syringe to a stirred mixture of 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-3-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (4.49 g, 19.3 mmol), 2-fluoropyridine-3-boronic acid (2.72 g, 19.3 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (1.12 g, 0.97 mmol) in DME (82 mL) under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 17 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature before being diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with sat. aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to give 3-(5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)-2-fluoropyridine. MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 180.1 (M+1).
