Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 29.34 g (0.264 mol) of 4-fluoroaniline (1) and 29.98 g (0.264 mol) of 2-chloropyridine (2) was heated at 150° C. for 2 h. After having been cooled down to RT, it was distributed between 500 ml of 1N NaOH and 500 ml of ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with in each case 300 ml of ethyl acetate and the combined organic phases were dried with magnesium sulfate. After the solvent had been evaporated, the residue was taken up in 500 ml of ethyl acetate and approx. 40 g of active charcoal were added. The mixture was stirred at RT for 10 minutes and filtered through kieselguhr. The active charcoal was rewashed 4 times with in each case 1 l of ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed in vacuo (i.v.) and the residue was precipitated from 120 ml of ethyl acetate. The solid was filtered off with suction and dried at 50° C. i.v. 41 g of 2-(p-fluoroanilino)pyridine (3) were obtained;
