Acetic Acid → Methyl 5-(2-(((4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)amino)methyl)-5-fluorophenyl)picolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Solid NaBH(OAc)3 (491 mg, 2.3 mmol) was added to a DCE solution (4 mL) of methyl 5-(5-fluoro-2-formylphenyl)picolinate (300 mg, 1.2 mmol), 4-bromo-3-fluoroaniline (242 mg, 1.3 mmol), and AcOH (0.27 mL, 4.6 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 16 h the resulting mixture diluted with EtOAc washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated and purified via column chromatography to yield the title compound.
