Abstract

A number of approaches to the synthesis of 2-chloro-and 2, 6-dichloro-4- trifluoromethylpyridine are described. The first method for 2-chloro-and 2, 6-dichloro-4- trifluoromethylpyridine is based on commercially available ethyl trifluoroacetate. An alternative access to 2, 6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethyl pyridine uses trifluoroacetaldehyde as starting material. 2-Chloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine is prepared from ethyl ( ...
