Participants

Reaction Steps

Phosphorus oxychloride (2.99 mL) was added dropwise to N,N-dimethylformamide (49 mL) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 minutes. Then 6-hydroxy-5-nitronicotinamide (4.9 g) was added portionwise to the mixture, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for an hour. Water was added to the reaction mixture at 0° C., and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration in vacuo. The obtained solid was washed with water to give 5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-nitropyridine (3.17 g) as a pale brown solid.
