Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)boronic acid (0.453 g, 2.02 mmol), tert-butyl 4-(((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)oxy)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (0.669 g, 2.02 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.117 g, 0.1 mmol), sodium carbonate (2 M, 5 mL), and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (10 mL) was heated at 80° C. under microwave irradiation for 1.5 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with water (80 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (80 mL). The extract was washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (0-25% EtOAc in hexanes) to give tert-butyl 4-(5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate as colorless oil (0.614 g, 84%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.59 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.37-7.22 (m, 1H), 7.22 (d, J=1.68 Hz, 1H), 5.60 (br, 1H), 4.02 (br, 2H), 3.61 (br, 2H), 2.34 (br, 2H), 1.50 (s, 9H); MS (ESI+) m/z 306 [M+H]+.
