Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7 g (0.0374 mol, 1 eq) of 5-amino-6-cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine dissolved in 106 ml of 90% sulfuric acid was and heated at 70° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and quenched with ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and concentrated. The solid product obtained was washed with to get 6.8 g (89.47%) of off white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 5.5 (1H, bs), 7.1 (1H, d), 7.53 (1H, d), 7.80 (1H, bs). MS 206 (M+H)+.
