Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared by dissolving 6.17 grams (g) (0.025 mole (m)) of 2-chloro-6-hydroxy-4-(trichloromethyl)pyridine in 100 milliliters of toluene. To this solution was added 2.53 g (0.025 m) of triethylamine. To this mixture was then added 2.71 g (0.025 m) of ethyl chloroformate dissolved in 20 ml of toluene. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hours. The salt which formed was removed by filtration and the toluene was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. Using a short path distillation (Kugelrohr) at 130° C. and 80 millimeters of mercury, 6-chloro-4-(trichloromethyl)-2-pyridinyl ethyl carbonate was obtained in a yield of 6.65 g (83 percent of theory). The product had a refractive index of n(25/d)=1.5354. The structure of the product was confirmed by its NMR spectrum (Compound No. 1).
