Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of 4-(3-(2,5-dichloro-4,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol (2.40 g, 5.84 mmol) in NMP (19 mL) was added aluminium chloride (0.977 g, 7.33 mmol) followed by addition of pyridine (1.93 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. for 1 hour. It was cooled to room temperature and poured into 2 N HCl-solution (ca. 40 mL). The precipitate was filtered off, washed with water to and dried under vacuum. Recrystallization from acetic acid yielded 1.88 g (81%) of 5-[3-(2,5-dichloro-4,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-5-yl]-3-nitrobenzene-1,2-diol.
