Reaktionsschritte

4.5 g of 2,3-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine was added to a solution of 2.7 g of potassium hydroxide dissolved in 40 ml of t-butanol, and the mixture was reacted at the reflux temperature for one hour while stirring. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was allowed to cool and made acidic with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The contents were concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a solid which was then purified to obtain 3.1 g of the titled compound having a melting point of 165° to 166° C.
