Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 6-chloro-4-(2-fluoro-4-methylanilino)nicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-methylaniline and ethyl 4,6-dichloronicotinate were reacted in a mixture of EtOH and conc. HCl as for example 33, step A. The resultant solid was isolated by filtration and washed with 10% Et2O/Hexane, to give ethyl 6-chloro-4-(2-fluoro-4-methylanilino)nicotinate (44%); m.p. (EtOH/water) 107-109° C. 1H NMR [400 MHz, CDCl3] δ 9.63 (br s, 1H), 8.77 (s, 1H), 7.20 (t, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.05-6.99 (m, 2H), 6.65 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 4.41 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.43 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H). MS (FAB+) 309 (40%).
