Reaction Steps

Bis-(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II)dichloride (406 mg, 580 μmol, 0.05 equiv.) was dissolved in 25 ml DMF. (2.5 g, 11.6 mmol) 5-Bromo-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester and 3-fluorophenylacetylene (2.22 g, 18.5 mmol, 1.6 equiv.) were added at room temperature. Triethylamine (3.5 g, 4.84 ml, 34.7 mmol, 3 equiv.), triphenylphosphine (91 mg, 347 μmol, 0.03 equiv.) and copper(I)iodide (66 mg, 347 μmol, 0.03 equiv.) were added and the mixture was stirred for 20 hours at 80° C. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated to dryness with Isolute® sorbent. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (70 g) eluting with an ethyl acetate:heptane gradient 0:100 to 80:20. The desired 5-(3-fluoro-phenylethynyl)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1.95 g, 66% yield) was obtained as a light yellow solid, MS: m/e=256.3 (M+H+).
