Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-amino-3,5-dichloropyridine (0.93 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (56 mL) under nitrogen at 5°-10° C. is treated portionwise with sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 0.57 g). After 1 hour it is treated dropwise with a solution of 3-cyclopent-3-enyloxy-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) prepared as described in Reference Example 33 from 1.33 g 3-cyclopent-3-enyloxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid). The resulting mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred for a further 3 hours and then poured into 5% aqueous potassium carbonate (430 mL). The resulting emulsion is extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 mL), the combined organic extracts washed with water (2×20 mL), followed by ice-cold 1M aqueous hydrochloric acid (2×20 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the resulting residue subject to flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with mixtures of t-butyl methyl ether and cyclohexane (2:3 to 7:3 v/v), to give a cream solid, which is recrystallized from acetonitrile to give N-(3,5-dichloropyrid-4-yl)-3-cyclopent-3-enyloxy-4-methoxybenzamide (0.54 g), as a white solid, m.p. 193°-195° C.
