Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 5-bromo-3-methylpyridine-2-carbonitrile (3.9 g, 20 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) was added 6.0 M sodium hydroxide in water (15 mL), and the reaction was stirred at 80° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with water and partitioned in EtOAc. The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 2-3. The product then was extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 4.2 g (98% yield) of the desired product as a yellow solid.
