After stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the reaction mixture was added to CH2Cl2 (20 mL). The organic layer was washed with a saturated solution of NaCl and dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was removed leaving 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-fluoropicolinaldehyde (82 mg, 0.273 mmol, 68% yield) as an off-white solid: mp 166-169° C.; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.12 (s, 1H), 7.96 (m, 2H), 7.48 (m, 2H), 4.99 (s, 2H); 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3) δ −137.68; ESIMS m/z 285.64 ([M+H]+).
