Reaction Steps

A solution of the 2,6-dichloro-nicotinoyl chloride (1.0 g, 4.76 mmol) from the previous reaction in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added slowly to a cooled (0° C.) and stirred slurry solution of AlCl3 (0.64 g, 4.76 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL). After 15 min, vinylidene chloride (0.38 mL, 0.46 g, 4.76 mmol) was added to the mixture dropwise. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The mixture was then poured over ice and was acidified using 1 N HCl (15 mL). Stirring was continued for 20 min and the product was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 3,3-dichloro-1-(2,6-dichloro-3-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (0.88 g, 68%) as a light yellow oil: 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 8.38, d, J=8.4, 1H). 7.40 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 7.10 (s, 1H); Rf=0.51 (4:1 Hex:EtOAc).
