Reaction Steps

A pressure bottle was charged with Pd(dba)3 (Strem, 1.032 g, 1.127 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (Strem 1.157 g, 2.82 mmol), zinc cyanide (Alfa Aesar, 2.482 g, 21.14 mmol), 3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-methoxy-6,7-dihydro-1,7-naphthyridin-8(5H)-one (step 1, 3.25 g, 14.09 mmol) and DMF (70 ml). The bottle was purged with Argon and the reaction mixture was heated to 110° C. for 1 h. The crude reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and the filtercake was washed with MeOH. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with DCM. The solid was filtered off and washed with DCM. The title compound (2.27 g, 10.26 mmol, 72.8% yield) was obtained as an off white solid. MS m/z=222 [M+H]+. Calculated for C10H8FN3O2: 221.1
