Procedure

To a solution of methyl 6-bromo-5-fluoropicolinate (1.0 equiv.) in THF and water (10:1, 0.1 M) was added 2,6-difluoro-4-methoxyphenylboronic acid (2.5 equiv.) and potassium fluoride (3.3 equiv.). The reaction was degassed with nitrogen, then Pd2(dba)3 (0.25 equiv.) and tri-tert-butylphosphine (0.5 equiv.) were added and the reaction was heated to 80° C. for one hour. LC/MS analysis indicated complete conversion of the starting material to product. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, then concentrated in vacuo and fused to silica gel. The crude product was purified by ISCO flash chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate and hexanes (0% to 30% ethyl acetate) to provide methyl 6-(2,6-difluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate as a white solid in 85% yield. LC/MS=298.0 (M+H), Rt=0.89 min.
