Reaction Conditions
Operation in experiment
With potassium fluoride; copper(l) iodide; In N,N-dimethyl-formamide; at 120℃; for 18h;
To a mixture of 6-bromo-3-methoxypicolinic acid (3.6 g, 15.52 mmol) and K2CO3 (4.29 g, 31 .0 mmol) in A/,A/-Dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added iodomethane (4.40 g, 31 .0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60 C for 4h. The mixture was then poured into water (10 mL) and was extracted with EtOAc (3x30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed by aqueous LiCI (2x30 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgS04 and concentrated in vacuum to give crude methyl 6-bromo-3-methoxypicolinate as a clourless gum. Ethyl 2- chloro-2,2-difluoroacetate (7.38 g, 46.5 mmol), potassium fluoride (9.01 g, 155 mmol) and copper(l) iodide (8.86 g, 46.5 mmol) and A/,A/-Dimethylformamide (20.00 mL) were then added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 120 C for 18h. The mixture was cooled to rt and water (30 mL) was added. The mixture was filtered and extracted with EtOAc (3x30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed by aqueous LiCI (2x30 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgS04 and concentrated in vacuum to give methyl 3-methoxy-6- (trifluoromethyl)picolinate as a crude product. The crude product was dissloved in methanol (20 mL) and a solution of LiOH (1 .858 g, 78 mmol) in water (20 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40 C for 1 h. The pH was then adjusted to 5 with 1 N HCI. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3x30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgS04 and concentrated under vacuum to give 3-methoxy-6- (trifluoromethyl)picolinic acid (1 .7 g, 6.92 mmol, 44.6 % yield) as a white solid, m/z: [M + H]+ Calcd for C8H7F3NO3 222.0; Found 222
