Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 5-(2,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-6-phenoxy-pyridin-4-ylamino)pentan-1-ol (40.24 g, 114.6 mmol) in dichloromethane (350 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Thionyl chloride (12.5 mL, 172 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction was heated at reflux for one hour. The reaction was cooled to 0° C., and water (200 mL) was slowly added followed by solid sodium bicarbonate until the pH of the solution was basic. The solvent was partially removed under reduced pressure, and the aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The combined organic solutions washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (3×50 mL), water (1×50 mL), and brine (2×20 mL), and then dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a yellow oil, which crystallized overnight. The solid was dried for one hour in a vacuum oven at 70° C. to provide 40.1 g of (5-chloropentyl)-(2,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-6-phenoxy-pyridin-4-yl)amine as a yellow solid.
