Reaction Steps

2,6-Dichloropyridine-4-thiocarboxamide (1.0 g, 4.83 mmol) was dissolved in dry 1,4-dioxane followed by adding ethyl bromopyruvate (0.9 mL, 7.24 mmol) and pyridine (0.4 mL, 4.83 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to reflux under N2 for 5 h. After cooling to RT, solvent was removed. The residue was extracted with CHCl3. The organic layer was washed with H2O and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give a brownish solid. This crude was purified by chromatography on silica gel. Elution with hexane:acetone (90:10) gave a title compound as yellow solid. MS m/z: 303 (M+H). Calc'd. for C11H8Cl2N2O2S-303.16.
