Procedure
To a stirred suspension of (RS)-ethoxy-(3-nitro-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (3.91 g) at r.t. in ethanol (25 ml) under an argon atmosphere was added 10% Pd/C (215 mg). The reaction mixture was then stirred at r.t. under a hydrogen atmosphere for 16 h. The catalyst was filtered off on a celite pad and washed with ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was purified by chromatography (silica gel, cyclohexane=>cyclohexane/EtOAc 2:3) to give (RS)-(3-amino-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-ethoxy-acetic acid ethyl ester as yellow oil.
