Lithium Hydroxide → 6-Methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)picolinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 6-methyl-3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-pyridinecarboxylate D37 (106 mg) and LiOH (17.53 mg, 0.732 mmol) in THF/water (2:1, 6 ml) was stirred overnight. The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure; the residue was taken up in water (2 ml) and the pH was adjusted to pH=2 with 1 M HCl solution. The mixture was loaded onto a pre-conditioned C18 column (5 g, eluted with water and then MeOH). The methanol fractions were evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound D38 (98 mg) as a white solid.
