Dimethylformamide → 2-Chloro-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine

Temperature

80 °C

To a solution of 5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-ol (1 g, 4.81 mmol) in SOCl2 (10 mL, 137 mmol) was added DMF (0.372 mL, 4.81 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 h. After TLC analysis showed the starting material had disappeared, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in DCM (60 mL) and washed with aq NaHCO3 (20 mL) and brine (20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (PE/EA=20/1) to yield a yellow solid of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (0.8 g, 3.53 mmol, 73.5% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.42 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H), 8.91 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H).
