2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone → Diethyl 2,6-diisopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.8 g (16.4 mmol) of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone are added to a solution of 6.6 g (16.4 mmol) of the compound from Example 2 in 200 ml of methylene chloride p.a. and the mixture is stirred for 1 h at room temperature. It is then filtered with suction over kieselguhr, and the methylene chloride phase is extracted three times with 100 ml of water each time and dried over magnesium sulphate. After concentrating in vacuo, the residue is chromatographed on a column (100 g of silica gel 70-230 mesh, φ3.5 cm, using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether 1:9).
