Reaktionsschritte

Methyl 6-chloro-5-nitronicotinate (2.17 g, 10.0 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (55 mL) and imidazole (4.09 g, 60 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and treated with SnCl2-2H2O (13.5 g, 60.0 mmol). It was heated to 70° C. for 2 h, diluted with potassium carbonate (sat. aq.) and extracted with ethyl acetate (5×20 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a crude yellow solid, which was used in the next step without further purification. [M+H] calc'd for C10H10N4O2, 219; found, 219.
