Sulfamic Acid → 2,4-Dichloronicotinic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.40 g of the aldehyde from Step B was dissolved in 6 mL of THF and then added to a solution of 0.27 g of sodium chlorite and 0.29 g of sulfamic acid in 6 mL of water. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1 N sodium hydroxide (10 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (1×). The aqueous layer was then acidified with concentrated HCl, extracted with methylene chloride (2×), and the combine methylene chloride extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate. The methylene chloride was removed under vacuum to give 0.22 g of a solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3; 300 MHz) δ 7.38 (d, 1H J is 5.4 Hz), 8.40 (d, 1H, J is 5.5 Hz), 8.60 (bs, 1H).
