Reaction Steps

To 4-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid (200 mg, 1.4 mmol) in DMF (2 mL), potassium carbonate (397 mg, 2.8 mmol) was added followed by n-bromobutane (197 mg, 1.4 mmol), warmed at 60° C. for overnight. The solvent was removed to obtain the crude ester product. The crude ester (360 mg, 1.4 mmol) was dissolved in THF (4 mL), lithium hydroxide (72 mg, 1.7 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The residue obtained on removal of solvent was purified by silica gel chromatography using 10% MeOH in DCM to provide 4-butoxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid 15a (R10=butyl) (100 mg, 43%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.37 (d, J=6.0, 1), 7.63 (d, J=2.7, 1), 7.07 (dd, J=2.7, 6.0, 1), 4.15 (t, J=6.6, 2), 1.82 (m, 2), 1.54 (m, 2), 1.01 (t, J=7.5, 3). MS (ES−): 194 (M−1).
