Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 4-chloro-N-(6-(hydrazinecarbonyl)pyridin-2-yl)picolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude 6-[(4-chloro-pyridine-2-carbonyl)-amino]-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester from the previous step (25.3 g, 87.8 mmol) was suspended in ethanol (200 mL), and hydrazine hydrate (21.3 mL, 439 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hours, solvent removed under reduced pressure, and the residue suspended in acetonitrile and collected by filtration. The solids were washed with acetonitrile (2×100 mL) and diethylether (2×100 mL), and dried under reduced pressure to afford 25.3 g (92% yield) of 4-chloro-N-(6-(hydrazinecarbonyl)pyridin-2-yl)picolinamide as a white solid.
