Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of methyl 6-chloro-5-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)nicotinate (546 mg) in toluene (6.7 mL) were added 2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenylboronic acid (512 mg), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (132 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (74 mg) and 2.0 M aqueous sodium carbonate (3.0 mL) solution, and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 20 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (466 mg) as a yellow oil.
