Improved Process for the Preparation of 2-Methyl-3-trifluoromethylaniline: A Versatile Intermediate for Flunixin Synthesis
A detailed new experimental investigation into the synthesis of Flunixin via 2-methyl-3-trifluoromethylaniline is described.The coupling process between 2-methyl-3-trifluoromethylaniline and 2-chloronicotinate was achieved stoichiometrically and in high yield, when ethylene glycol was used as reaction solvent at 160 deg C.
Preparation of substituted anilino-nicotinic acid derivatives
Substituted anilino-nicotinic acid derivatives are readily prepared from the condensation of two intermediates, 2-alkyl-3-perfluoroalkyl-anilines and alkyl 2-chloronicotinates. The 2-alkyl-3-perfluoroalkyl-aniline intermediate can be prepared via a novel three step synthesis. 3-Perfluoroalkyl-anilines are reacted with an amine directing protecting group reagent to protect the amine. The protected amine is then alkylated, and finally, the directing group is removed to form the 2-alkyl-3-perfluoroalkyl-aniline intermediate. The 2-alkyl-3-perfluoroalkyl-aniline intermediate is condensed with the alkyl 2-chloronicotinate to form the anilino-nicotinic acid derivative.
