Reaction Conditions

Temperature	100 °C

Reaction Steps

To a sealed tube were added 5-bromo-2-(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)benzonitrile 206-3 (42 mg, 0.16 mmol), 0.5 M (2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl) zinc(II) chloride 86-5 in ether (0.46 mL, 0.23 mmol), Pd(dba)2 (4.4 mg, 0.008 mmol), Q-phos (10.8 mg, 0.015 mmol) and THF (1 mL). The reaction mixture was bubbled with nitrogen for 1 minute and stirred at 100° C. for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, all the solvents were evaporated and the residue was redissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness by rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography and eluted with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give tert-butyl 2-(3-cyano-4-(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)phenyl)acetate 206-5. MS m/z 313.2 (M+1).
