METHODS OF PRODUCING METHYL 4-AMINO-3-CHLORO-6-(4-CHLORO-2-FLUORO-3-METHOXYPHENYL)PYRIDINE-2-CARBOXYLATE

摘要

Methods of producing methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate. One method comprises adding methyl isobutyl ketone to an aqueous solution comprising 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl-boronic acid to form an organic phase comprising the 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenylboronic acid and an aqueous phase. The organic phase and the aqueous phase are separated. The 4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenylboronic acid is reacted with methyl 4-(acetylamino)-3,6-dichloropyridine-2-carboxylate in methyl isobutyl ketone to produce methyl 4-(acetylamino)-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate, which is deacetylated to produce methyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate.
