Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-aminopyridin-3-yloxy)benzonitrile (5.6 g, 26.5 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (4.25 g, 31.8 mmol) and stirred at 80° C. for 14 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and poured into water (100 mL). The aqueous suspension was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic layers were washed with water. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on silica gel (20% EtOAc/hexanes) and triturated with methanol to afford 4-(2-amino-5-chloropyridin-3-yloxy)benzonitrile (2.75 g, 42.2% yield) as a bright yellow solid.
