Reaktionsschritte

In 5 ml of DMF were dissolved 82 mg of methyl 2-(3-cyano-4-hydroxyphenyl)isonicotinate and 66 mg of isopropyl iodide, and the resulting solution was heated at 80° C. for 3 hours in the presence of 72 mg of potassium carbonate and 10 mg of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. The reaction solution was cooled and then diluted with water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and then dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was washed with a mixed solvent (hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain 91 mg of methyl 2-(3-cyano-4-isopropoxyphenyl)isonicotinate. (2) Then, 86 mg of the compound was dissolved in a mixed solution of 3 ml of methanol and 3 ml of THF, and 0.35 ml of a 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added thereto, followed by heating at 60° C. for 1 hour. After being cooled to room temperature, the resulting solution was diluted with diisopropyl ether and water and an aqueous layer was separated. The aqueous layer was neutralized with 1M hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate. After being washed with water, the organic layer was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 55 mg of 2-(3-cyano-4-isopropoxyphenyl)isonicotinic acid.
