Procedure

4-Amino-3,5-dichloropyridine (4.0 g) and 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (6.26 g) are intimately ground together in a mortar with a pestle, and transferred to a round-bottomed flask. The mixture is melted, using a hot air gun external to the flask, stirring with a magnetic stirrer. After 10 minutes, heating is ceased and the melt is allowed to cool. The resulting material is triturated with dichloromethane and the residual solid is filtered off. The filtrate is concentrated to give a fawn solid, which is subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with diethyl ether, to give N-(3,5-dichloro-pyrid-4-yl)-3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzamide (1.87 g), m.p. 155°-157° C. [Elemental analysis: C,56.3; H,4.7; N,7.2; CI,18.4%; calculated: C,56.7; H,4.76; N,7.35; Cl18.6%; IR spectrum: 1661 cm-1, 3244 cm-1 ]
