Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(5-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-acetamide (1 g, 4.6 mmol) in 30 ml CH3CN was added ClCF2COONa (848 mg, 5.58 mmol), followed by 18-Crown-6 (244 mg, 0.93 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 12 hrs. Then the reaction mixture was cooled down and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. To this was added methylene dichloride and washed with water. Organic layer was dried over any sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to furnish the crude N-[5-Bromo-1-difluoromethyl-1H-pyridin-(2E)-ylidene]-acetamide. This was carried to the next step without purification.
