Methods for preparing a catalyst precursor material from dihalo-substituted metalloids are provided. The methods In include mixing a first solution of a halogenated alkane, at least one solvent, and a first component selected from a dihalo-substituted-group-14 metalloid or an organolithium reagent in a first reaction zone. Continuously adding the first solution to a second reaction zone, and continuously adding a second solution to the second reaction zone. The second solution including at least one solvent and a second component of either the dihalo-substituted-group-14 metalloid or the organolithium reagent, the second component is different from the first component. Mixing the first solution and the second solution in the second reaction zone.

Methods for preparing catalyst precursor materials

Improved methods of synthesizing 6-aryl-4-aminopicolinates, such as arylalkyl and alkyl 4-amino-3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylates and arylalkyl and alkyl 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylates, are described herein. The improved methods include a direct Suzuki coupling step, which eliminates the protection/de-protection steps in the current chemical process, and therefore eliminates or reduces various raw materials, equipment and cycle time as well as modification of other process conditions including use of crude AP, use of ABA-diMe, and varying pH, catalyst concentration, solvent composition, and/or workup procedures. This includes synthesis of 2-aryl-6-aminopyrimidine-4-carboxylates.
