Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitropyridine-2-carboxaldehyde was prepared from the nitro derivative, 2-methyl-3-nitropyridine, by the procedure employed for the synthesis of Example I, except that anhydrous dioxane was used as the solvent and the reaction time was 4 h. Yield: 2.0 g (42%); mp 66°-67° C. (lit. 66.5°-67.5° C.); TLC, Rf 0.85 (EtOAc); 1H NMR (90 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.0 (d, 1H, 3-H, J3,4 =4.5 HZ), 8.30 (d, 1H, 4-H, J3,4 =4.5 Hz), 9.25 (s, 1H, 6-H), 10.45 (s, 1H, 2-CHO).
