Picolinic acid → HCID 2576380, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Picolinic acid (10.0 g, 81 mmol) was added to a solution of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (13.13 g, 81 mmol) in dimethylformamide (80 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour before introduction of 2,4-difluoroaniline (9.06 mL, 89 mmol). After 24 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, extracted into ether, dried, concentrated, and recrystallized using a mixture of ether and petroleum ether to yield N-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-pyridine-carboxamide as a white solid (14.37 g, 76.0%) m.p. 90.5°-95° C.
