Methyl 6-bromo-5-fluoropyridine-2-carboxylate → Methyl 6-(2,6-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Method 1 was followed using methyl 6-bromo-5-fluoropicolinate (1.0 equiv.) and tert-butyl(3,5-difluoro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy)dimethylsilane (1.75 equiv.) to give methyl 6-(2,6-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate in 65% yield. The reaction was heated for an additional 30 minutes at 100° C. in the microwave to drive to completion the deprotection of the TBDMS group. LC/MS=283.9 (M+H), Rt=0.69 min.
