Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pyridine (310.6 mg, 3.927 mmol) in EtOH (8.0 mL), a solution of ethyl bromopyruvate (752.1 mg, 3.857 mmol) in EtOH (8.0 mL) was added dropwise over a period of 20 min. The mixture was heated to 65° C. for 1 h, and then cooled to room temperature. 2-Amino-4-bromo-5-fluorobenzaldehyde (796.1 mg, 3.651 mmol) was added, followed by pyridine (690.6 mg, 8.731 mmol). The mixture was heated at 85° C. for 5 h. Pyrrolidine (640.1 mg, 9.000 mmol) was then added. After heating for an additional 3 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool and was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (0-100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the sub-title compound as a yellow solid (882.5 mg, 77%). LCMS calc. for C12H11BrFN2O2(M+H)+: m/z=313.0. found 313.0.
