Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-chloropyridine (3.0 g) was dissolved in DMF (40 mL), N-iodosuccinimide (5.25 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Water and MTB-ether were added to the reaction mixture, the layers were separated and the organic layer was washed 3× with water, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica 60, hexane/ethyl acetate=3:1, Rf=0.30) to afford 4.80 g of the title compound of the formula
