Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate (1.0 g, 3.2 mmol) was added as a solid to well stirred concentrated sulfuric acid (16 mL) at 0° C. Sodium nitrate (0.29 g, 3.5 mmol) was added to the mixture and the resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours then diluted with a large quantity of ice and allowed to warm to room temperature. The solution was filtered to remove some solids then the filtrate extracted with 3 portions of ethyl acetate and the combined ethyl acetate layers washed with saturated aqeous NaHCO3 and dried (Na2SO4). Filtration and concentration gave 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.96 g, 2.7 mmol) as a yellow solid: mp 161-163° C.: 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.73 (d, 1H), 7.36 (d, 1H), 7.24 (d, 1H), 4.93 (bs, 2H), 4.02 (s, 3).
