Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4,6-dichloronicotinate (10.0 g, 45.44 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) was stirred till a clear solution was obtained followed by addition of aniline (3.90 mL, 43.17 mmol) and 10 drops of conc. HCl. The resulting solution was heated to 80° C. for 2-3 h. The reaction mass was cooled to room temperature, poured onto ice-cold water and then extracted with EtOAc (3×250 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was then purified over silica gel (100-200 M, 2% EtOAc-hexane) to obtain the desired product ii (4.90 g, 39%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 9.72 (br s, 1H), 8.66 (s, 1H), 7.28-7.49 (m, 5H), 6.77 (s, 1H), 4.35 (q, J=7.20 Hz, 2H), 1.34 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3H). [M+H]+ m/z=277.17.
