What Is The Manufacturing Process Of 2-Chloro-4Methylpyridine?

2-chloro-4-methylpyridine (2-chloro-4-picoline) reacts to palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction in the form of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid in 2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)phenyl)-4-methylpyridine. 

In the assessment of gas-phase fundamentality of many fairly small organic molecules used in the chemicals, 2-chlor-4-picoline was used (2-chloro-4-methylpyridine).
