Sodium Sulfite → 3,4-Diethoxycarbonyl-5-nitro-6-phenyl-2-sulfopyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.28 g of sodium sulfite in 7 ml of water was added to a solution of 0.70 g of 2-chloro-3,4-diethoxycarbonyl-5-nitro-6-phenylpyridine in 7 ml of ethanol, and the mixture was heated under reflux for minutes. After the reaction mixture was concentrated, the concentrate was acidified with 1N HCl, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. After concentration to dryness under reduced pressure, the residue was recrystallized from chloroform/ether, to give 0.47 g of white crystals.
