Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-4-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.6 g) and sulfuric acid (5 ml) is heated at 60° C. for 15 minutes. After addition of water (0.4 ml) the mixture is again heated at 60° C. for 20 minutes. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with water and washed with dichloromethane. The aqueous phase was adjusted to pH 7 with sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The product with the molecular weight of 237.69 (C12H12ClNO2); MS (ESI): 238 (M+H+) was obtained in this way.
