Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. suspension of nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (0.041 g, 0.348 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (1 mL) was added a solution of methyl 4-amino-6-(4-aminophenyl)-5-fluoro-3-vinylpicolinate (0.1 g, 0.348 mmol) in a 1:1 mixture of CH2Cl2 and CH3CN (4 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then a solution of sodium iodide (0.261 g, 1.740 mmol) dissolved in a minimum of water was added and the reaction was stirred at 20° C. for 30 min. The mixture was then poured into a 10% aqueous solution of sodium sulfite and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, hexanes/EtOAc gradient) followed by preparative reverse phase HPLC (water/acetonitrile gradient) to afford the title compound as a white solid (32 mg, 0.080 mmol, 23.09%).
