Procedure

To N-(6-chloro-4-o-tolylpyridin-3-yl)-N-methyl-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (460 mg, 0.97 mmol, example 12) in acetone (3 mL) was added sodium iodide (1.17 g, 7.8 mmol) and hydriodic acid (170 μL, 1.07 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hours. Acetone was evaporated and acetonitrile (3 mL) was added and the reaction mixture heated again to reflux. After 16 hours, the reaction mixture was carefully neutralized with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. Filtration and removal of volatiles under reduced pressure afforded a brown solid. The desired compound was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel (50% EtOAc in n-hexane) as an amber oil (324 mg, 59%).
