Participants

Reaction Steps

Procedure B was performed using N-(4-Chloro-3-iodophenyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-methylpyridine-3-carboxamide (88 mg, 0.2 mmol) with 2-pyridylzinc bromide (1 mL, 0.5 mmol, 0.5 M in THF). Purified by silica gel chromatography (10-80% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield N-(4-chloro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-methylpyridine-3-carboxamide as a yellow solid: TLC Rf=0.28 (35% ethyl acetate/hexanes); TLC Rf=0.28 (35% ethyl acetate/hexanes); NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 8.88 (bs, 1H), 8.41 (d, 1H), 7.96 (dd, 1H), 7.74 (m, 4H), 7.52 (d, 1H), 7.22 (m, 1H), 2.75 (s, 3H); MS (Q1) 392 (M)+.
