We describe the development and scale-up of a nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reaction between a substituted 2-chloropyridine and ethyl 3-chloropropanoate using manganese dust as the terminal reductant. Several additives were screened for the activation of the manganese reductant in situ, and chlorotriethylsilane (TESCI) was found to provide the optimal conversion. A focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) probe was utilized to monitor particle attrition as well as manganese activation during the reaction. Modeling was employed to garner an understanding of mixing requirements that would ensure effective suspension of the manganese during scale-up. The process was successfully demonstrated on a 7 kg scale and afforded 2 in 64% yield.
