4-Bromo-2-chloroaniline → 4-(4-Bromo-2-chlorophenylamino)-6-chloronicotinic acid hydrochloride salt

Participants

Reaction Steps

LiHMDS (261 mL of a 1 M solution in hexanes) was added dropwise over 30 minutes to a solution of 4-bromo-2-chlorophenylamine (35.0 g, 172 mmol) in THF (80 mL) at −78° C. After 1 hour, 4,6-dichloronicotinic acid (23) (15.7 g, 81.7 mmol) was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred 16 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water, diluted with EtOAc and acidified with 1 N HCl. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with EtOAc. The solids were twice concentrated from toluene, triturated with CH2Cl2 and collected by filtration. The solids were further concentrated from toluene (3×) followed by drying in vacuo to give the desired product (24) containing a small amount of water (36.0 g).
