Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-bromo-2-chloropyridine (990 mg, 5.15 mmol), cyclopropylboronic acid (893 mg, 10.39 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (5.082 g, 15.45 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (25 mL) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (601 mg, 0.52 mmol) at r.t. under N2. The reaction was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. After filtration, the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (PE:EtOAc=50:1) to give 452 mg (57%) of the title compound as a colorless oil. [M+H] Calc'd for C8H8NCl, 154. Found, 154.
