Reaction Steps

3-chloro-5-fluoro-4-iodo-pyridine (750 mg, 2.913 mmol), tert-butyl 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylate (990.7 mg, 3.204 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (102.2 mg, 0.1456 mmol) in DME (15 mL) were degassed using 3×vacuum/nitrogen cycles. Na2CO3 (4.370 mL of 2 M, 8.739 mmol) was added followed by further degassing and the reaction heated at 90° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with EtOAc/water. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (×1), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ISCO Companion, 80 g column, eluting with 0 to 20% EtOAc/Petroleum Ether, loaded in DCM) to give tert-butyl 3′-chloro-5′-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-[4,4′-bipyridine]-1(2H)-carboxylate as an off-white solid (708 mg, 78% Yield). MS (ES+) 313.1.
