Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.1 g of 3-benzyl-2-methoxypyridine-5-carboxylic acid and 2.9 g of potassium carbonate was suspended in 40 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. 1.1 ml of methyl iodide was added-thereto at room temperature under stirring. After stirring for 40 minutes, water was added thereto and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was further washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using 11-14% ethyl acetate/hexane as an eluent for separation and purification, to give 2.2 g of the target compound.
