Reaction Steps

Dissolve 3-bromo-5-methoxypyridine (1.0 g, 5.35 mmol) in diisopropylamine (17 mL) and toluene (10 mL) under nitrogen. Add tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.200 g, 0.16 mmol). Heat at 60° C. and add 4-ethynyl-1-fluoro-2-methylbenzene (717 mg, 5.35 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (20 mg, 0.11 mmol). After 20 h add additional 4-ethynyl-1-fluoro-2-methylbenzene (100 mg, 0.75 mmol) and heat at 60° C. for 5 h. Concentrate and purify using silica gel chromatography, eluting with 30:70 to 40:60 ethyl acetate:hexanes, to give the title compound (660 mg, 51%).
