The beige suspension was heated at 50° C. for 5 hours. After cooling of the reaction mixture, a solution of 44 g (0.328 mol) of potassium monophosphate in 280 mL of water was added and stirred for 1 hour. The black mixture was then filtered over a cake of Supercel™, and the cake was washed three times by 200 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic phases were collected, washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent under vacuum gave 57.6 g of brown oil. After purification by column chromatography on silica gel (heptane/ethyl acetate 9/1) 40 g (57%) of ethyl (3,5-dichloropyridin-2-yl)(difluoro)acetate (Int-7) were obtained as a yellow oil, (M+1)=270, 19F-NMR (235 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): −104.21 (CF2).
