Reaction Steps

To 2-fluoro-N-(2-methoxy-4-pyridyl)-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzamide (5.0 g, 15.23 mmol) in acetonitrile (167.6 mL) was added TMSI (5.6 mL, 39.60 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 50° C. overnight. The acetonitrile was evaporated and the crude re-dissolved in ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography a gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes (0-100%) followed by methanol in dichloromethane (0-20%) yielded 2-fluoro-N-(2-oxo-1H-pyridin-4-yl)-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzamide (3 g, 62%), as a grey solid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 316.05. found 317.1 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.39 minutes (3 minutes run). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.80 (s, 1H), 7.73 (m, 1H), 7.67 (dd, J=8.7, 3.7 Hz, 1H), 7.55 (t, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.55 (dd, J=7.2, 2.1 Hz, 1H) ppm.
