Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 25 g (130.90 mmol) of 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoro-3-cyanopyridine in conc. sulphuric acid (125 ml) was stirred at 60-65° C. for 1 h. After cooling to RT, the contents of the flask were poured into ice-water and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (100 ml each). The combined organic phases were washed with water (100 ml) and then washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (100 ml), dried and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The material obtained was dried under high vacuum.
