Reaction Steps

Into a 250-mL 3-neck round bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, were placed a solution of 1-(4-nitro-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)piperidine (4 g, 12.05 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (60 mL), methyl 2-bromoisonicotinate hydrochloride (2.6 g, 12.09 mmol, 1.02 equiv), a solution of sodium carbonate (6.4 g, 60.38 mmol, 5.01 equiv) in water (30 mL), and Pd(PPh3)4 (1.4 g, 1.21 mmol, 0.10 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 3 h at 95° C. The resulting solution was diluted with 100 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×100 mL of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×100 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column and eluted with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10:1). This resulted in 1.8 g (44%) of methyl 2-(2-nitro-5-(piperidin-1-yl)phenyl)isonicotinate as a red semi-solid.
