Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N-(pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide (8.90 g, 50.0 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at −78° C. was added n-Butyllithium (50 mL, 125 mmol) dropwise over 30 min. After addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. and stirred an additional 3 h. The reaction was then cooled back to −78° C. and trimethyl borate (14.2 mL, 125 mmol) in THF was added dropwise over 15 min. After addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. and stirred an additional 2 h. Glacial AcOH (10.8 mL, 188 mmol) was added to the reaction, followed by dropwise addition of 30% H2O2 (14.3 mL, 138 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to rt and stirred overnight. The mixture was diluted with H2O and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was extracted three times with 10% iPrOH/CHCl3, the combined extracts treated with activated charcoal, and the slurry filtered through Celite. The organic layer was washed three times with H2O, once with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (3–10% MeOH/CHCl3) to give N-(4-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 11.58 (br s, 1H), 8.76 (br s, 1H), 8.67 (s, 1H), 7.68 (d, 1H), 6.26 (d, 1H), 1.22 (s, 9H).
