Procedure

A mixture of 25.2 g. of sodium bicarbonate, 12.3 g. of 2-aminopyridine and 30 g. of α-bromo-p-methoxyacetophenone in 100 ml. of water and 550 ml. of absolute ethanol is heated at reflux temperatures for 1.5 hrs. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to a yellow solid, which is partitioned between chloroform and water. The organic layer is separated, dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the chloroform in vacuo leaves the crude intermediate as a yellow solid. Recrystallization from ethanol-water give 15.2 g. of the desired material, m.p. 131°-134° C.
