Reaction Steps

3,4-Dinitrophenol (12.3 g, 66.8 mmol) and 4-chloro-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide prepared similarly as described in patent WO 00/42012 (less than 7.79 g, 45.7 mmol, due to contaminant) in an open 50 mL round-bottom flask provided with stir bar and fitted with running water condenser. The reaction was heated at 150° C. for 1 h and at 170° C. for 16 h. The reaction was cooled to RT and dissolved in CH2Cl2 and 2N NaOH (aq). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with a mix of brine and 2 N NaOH. The aqueous layers were back-extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a hexanes-to-hexanes/EtOAc gradient, to yield the title compound.
