Bromine → Methyl 4-amino-6-(4-bromo-2,5-difluorophenyl)-3-chloro-5-fluoropicolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(2,5-difluoro-4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate (0.240 g, 0.617 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2.469 mL) at 20° C. was added bromine (0.127 mL, 2.469 mmol). After 24 h, the reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of Na2S2O3 and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, hexanes/EtOAc gradient) to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.187 g, 0.473 mmol, 77%).
