Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-fluoro-4-iodo-5-methylpyridine (60 g, 253 mmol) and 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanamine (190.6 mL, 1270 mmol) was allowed to stir at 110° C. overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to rt and was then diluted with EtOAc (190 mL). The resulting solid was filtered and washed with EtOAc and then purified by column chromatography to give N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-4-iodo-5-methylpyridin-2-amine (55.0 g, 57%).
