Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (31.1 g, 0.22 mol) in diethyl ether (400 mL) at 0° C. was added n-BuLi in hexane (1.6 M, 138.0 mL, 0.22 mol) via syringe over 15 min. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h and at −78° C. for 0.5 h. To this mixture was then slowly added a solution of 3,4-dichloropyridine (29.6 g, 0.20 mol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) via syringe over 15 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h before the addition of isocyanatotrimethylsilane (85% pure, 40.0 mL, 0.30 mol). The source for isocyanatotrimethylsilane is TCI. After the addition, the cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature over 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with acetic acid (40 g, 0.67 mol) and 200 mL of water. The mixture was allowed to stir overnight and the white solid that formed was collected through filtration and washed with water. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×300 mL). The solid that was collected previously was dissolved in the combined organic layers, and the resulting solution was washed with brine (2×200 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was suspended in 200 mL of diethyl ether and sonicated. The remaining solid was collected through filtration and washed with minimum amount of diethyl ether to provide 3,4-dichloropicolinamide (14.8 g, 39%).
