Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-fluoropyridine (2.0 g, 11.36 mmol) in dioxane (35 mL) was added tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbaldehyde (2.59 g, 22.73 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.25 g, 1.14 mmol), cesium carbonate (7.41 g, 22.73 mmol), and water (10.24 μL, 0.57 mmol), xantphos (0.98 g, 1.70 mmol). The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min, the resulting mixture was heated to 110° C. in an oil bath for 15 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and was washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silicagel (ISCO) eluting with 0-80% ethyl acetate in heptane to give 4-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbaldehyde (560 mg, 2.68 mmol, 23.5% yield) as red color oil. LCMS (m/z): 210 (MH+), 0.45 min.
