Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-{[2-amino-5-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino}phenyl)ethanol (1.83 g, 5.54 mmol), 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (0.53 ml, 5.54 mmol), and EtOH (40 ml) was refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed. The residue was dissolved with benzene (50 ml) and treated with Pb(OAc)4 (3.38 g, 6.10 mmol) at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and the solution was washed with sat. NaHCO3 aq. and brine. The organic fraction was dried over MgSO4, then filtered. After evaporation in vacuo, the residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with hexane/EtOAc=5/2 to afford 1.20 g (52%) of the title compound.
