Abstract
The present invention relates to new chloropyridinium chlorides of the general formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl, R.sup.2 represents optionally substituted alkyl, and R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted alkyl, to a process for their preparation and to their use for the preparation of chloropyridines.
Claims6
A process for the preparation of a chloropyridinium chloride of the formula ##STR15## in which R.sup.1 is in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl,
- R.sup.2 is optionally substituted alkyl, and
- R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted alkyl,
- which comprises reacting an enamide of the of the formula ##STR16## with a chlorinating agent in the presence of a formamide of the formula ##STR17## in which R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each individually is alkyl or cycloalkyl or together are alkanediyl at a temperature between about -30.degree. C. and 100.degree. C. and for a period of time sufficient to form and insufficient to substantially thermally degrade said chloropyridinium chloride.
A process for the preparation of a chloropyridine of the formula ##STR18## which comprises thermally cleaving a chloropyridinium chloride of the formula ##STR19## R.sup.1 is in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl,
- R.sup.2 is optionally substituted alkyl, and
- R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted alkyl.
A process for the preparation of a chloropyridine of the formula ##STR20## which comprises reacting an enamide of the formula ##STR21## in which R.sup.1 is in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl,
- R.sup.2 is optionally substituted alkyl, and
- R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted alkyl,
- with a chlorinating agent in the presence of a formamide of the formula ##STR22## in which R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each individually is alkyl or cycloalkyl or together are alkanediyl at a temperature between about -30.degree. C. and 100.degree. C. and for a period of time sufficient to form and insufficient to substantially thermally degrade said chloropyridinium chloride,
- thereby to produce a compound of the formula ##STR23## and subjecting said compound to thermal cleavage.
A process for the preparation of a chloropyridine of the formula ##STR24## which comprises reacting an enamide of the formula ##STR25## in which R.sup.1 is in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl,
- R.sup.2 is optionally substituted alkyl, and
- R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halogen or optionally substituted alkyl,
- with a chlorinating agent in the presence of a formamide of the formula ##STR26## in which R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each individually is alkyl or cycloalkyl or together are alkanediyl at a temperature between about -30.degree. C. and 100.degree. C.
- thereby to produce a chloropyridinium chloride compound of the formula ##STR27## isolating said chloropyridinium chloride compound and subjecting said compound to thermal cleavage.
