Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium carbonate (3.20 g, 30.27 mmol) and 4-fluorobenzylamine (2.14 ml, 18.92 mmol) were added to a solution of 4-chloro-3-nitropyridine (3.0 g, 18.92 mmol) prepared in Step 1 of Preparation 1 in 30 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide and then the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 80° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with a mixture of water (10 ml) and ethyl acetate (100 ml) and then washed with water (100 ml) twice. The separated organic layer was dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound as a yellow solid (3.01 g, 83.5%).
