Reaktionsschritte

A dry flask was charged with 25 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and 6-chloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid (2.00 g, 12.69 mmol) and then cooled to 10° C. This was treated dropwise with tetrahydrofuran-borane (1.0 M solution in THF, 38.1 mL) over 10 minutes under nitrogen. This was stirred with cooling for 15 minutes, then at ambient temperature for 4 h. The reaction was then cooled to 0° C., and 10 mL of water were added slowly. The resultant mixture was poured into 50 mL of 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted 2×75 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined and washed with brine, then dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. Concentration in vacuo yielded 589.1 mg of a white solid as the title compound (I-5a).
