Potassium Carbonate → HCID 90409227, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-5-methyl-6-(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)picolinate (150 mg, 0.43 mmol) and potassium carbonate (215 mg, 1.56 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE, 2.9 mL) was added bromine (0.03 mL, 0.58 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The DCE was concentrated off under vacuum and the crude material was partitioned between ethyl acetate and aqueous potassium carbonate. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×), washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and adsorbed onto silica gel. Purification by flash chromatography (0-40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded the title compound as a yellow solid (68 mg, 45%).
