Reaction Steps

3,3-dichloro-1-(2,6-dichloro-5-fluoro-3-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (374.0 mg, 1.29 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) and cooled to 10° C. Aniline (120.0 mg, 1.29 mmol) and isopropylamine (76.5 mg, 1.29 mmol) were added dropwise as a mixture in 3 mL of 1,4-dioxane. TEA (0.897 mL, 6.45 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and left to stir for 2 h. The dioxane was removed in vacuo and the brown residue was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue using Biotage silica gel chromatography eluting with 6:1 to 7:3 Hex:EtOAc provided (2Z)-3-anilino-1-(2,6-dichloro-5-fluoro-3-pyridinyl)-3-(isopropylamino)-2-propen-1-one (45 mg, 10%) as an off-white solid: LCMS RT: 3.63 min, MH+: 368.2.
