Reaction Steps

N-Butyllithium (46.7 ml) was added to 100 ml of THF at −78° C., followed by the addition of diisopropylamine (16.65 ml) over 15 min. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at −78° C., then 2,6-dichloronicotinic acid (7.12 g) was added over 10 min. Stirring at −78° C. was continued for 2 h, then DMF (23.26 ml) was added dropwise maintaining the T<−70° C. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at −78° C., warmed to −50° C. for 30 min, and allowed to warm to RT. The mixture was quenched carefully by the addition of 2 N HCl (167 ml) until acidic pH was reached. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, the organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. After evaporation of the solvents the crude material was used without further purification: brown solid.
