a) To a stirred suspension of (A7) as obtained from example 5 (60.0 g, 126 mmol) in acetonitrile (180 ml.) was added pyridine (35.6 ml_, 440 mmol) and 2-chloro-6-fluoroaniline (27.4 g, 188 mmol, CAS-no. 363-51-9 obtained from Combiblocks, product code OS-7812; alternatively a preparation of 2-chloro-6-fluoroaniline is described in US 4,089,958, example XVIII) at 22°C. The cloudy solution was cooled to 0-5°C and phosphoryl chloride (21.2 g, 138 mmol) was added over a period of 10 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h resulting in a clear solution. Methanol (360 ml.) and 85% phosphoric acid (12.8 ml_, 189 mmol) were added and the mixture was heated to 60°C for 2 h. (0796) The reaction solvent was partially removed by distillation (95°C bath, 64-72°C internal temperature) to give 420 ml. distillate. The distillation residue was slowly cooled to 22°C and stirred for 16 h. The resulting suspension was cooled to 0-5°C and stirred for additional 2 h. The solid was isolated, washed two times with 2-propanol (30 ml.) and dried in vacuum at 50°C for 16 h to give crude product Compound (I) as a white solid (55g, 106 mmol) in 84% yield. (0797) HPLC (method 1 ): Rt = 2.81 min (> 98% area) (0798) b) The reaction product (30.0 g, 57.6 mmol) was further purified by suspension in anhydrous ethanol (450 ml.) and heating to 60°C. The resulting clear solution was filtered, the filter cake was washed two times with hot anhydrous ethanol (30 ml.) and the filtrate was concentrated by distillation of solvent (270 ml. distillate) at 100°C bath temperature. The solution was cooled to 50°C, seeded (I) (0.3 g), and cooled stepwise to 0-5°C over 4h. The precipitated solid was isolated, washed two times with anhydrous ethanol (15 ml.) and dried in vacuum at 50°C for 16h to give Compound (I) as a white solid (25.7 g, 49.3 mmol) in 86% yield from crude (0799) Compound (I).
