Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-3-fluoroaniline (10.0 g, 68.7 mmol) was heated to 180° C. in an oil bath. 2-Chloro-3-nitropyridine (11.0 g, 69.4 mmol) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 180° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 15° C. and washed with petroleum ether, providing the product as a salmon-pink solid. Yield: 15 g, 56 mmol, 82%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.20 (br s, 1H), 8.57 (dd, J=8.3, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.54 (dd, J=4.6, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (dd, J=11.3, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (dd, J=8.5, 8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.23-7.28 (m, 1H, assumed; partially obscured by solvent peak), 6.94 (dd, J=8.3, 4.5 Hz, 1H).
