Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 5-Bromo-pyridine-2-carbonyl chloride (69, 0.76 g, 3.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (29.0 mL) were added p-chloroaniline (53, 0.702 g, 5.50 mmol), 4-dimethylamino-pyridine (0.12 g, 0.96 mmol) and pyridine (2.9 mL, 0.036 mol). The reaction was stirred at 68° C. overnight, then poured into water, acidified with 1 N HCl to pH around 1 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane to give a white solid (70, 0.75 g, 70.0%).
