Procedure

Methyl 3-bromopyridine-4-carboxylate (5 g, 23.1 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous dioxane (150 mL). A solution of diethyl zinc (18.9 mL, 20.8 mmol, 1.1 M in toluene) was added dropwise and then was added catalyst ((1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)dichloropalladium (254 mg, 347 μmol). The mixture was heated at 70° C. for 3.5 hours and then water followed with 1 N HCl was added. The mixture was extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phase was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation, the residue was dissolved in DCM and purified on silica gel using 0-20% hexane/ethyl acetate to afford methyl 3-ethylpyridine-4-carboxylate (730 mg, 19% yield).
