Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(Chloro(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-methoxypyridine. To a cooled solution, 0° C., of [5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-methoxypyridin-3-yl](4-fluorophenyl)methanol (Example 14, 1.43 g, 4.17 mmol), in DCM (10 mL), was added thionyl chloride (744 mg, 6.25 mmol) dropwise. The solution was allowed to warm up to room temperature, and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification (FCC, SiO2, 0-10% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded the title compound, which was used directly for the next step.
