Dimethylformamide → 2,6-Dichloro-5-fluoronicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10 g of 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid in 30 mL of toluene, 8.5 g of thionyl chloride and 0.10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide were added, and the mixture was stirred at 72° C. for 1 hour 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was dropped to 30 mL of 25% ammonium water at −20° C. The temperature was increased to 5 C.°, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The solid was filtered off to obtain 9.9 g of 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinamide as a white solid.
