Reaction Steps

Methyl 6-chloro-5-isopropoxy-pyridine-2-carboxylate (330 mg, 1.44 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane (12 mL), and a solution of sodium methoxide (5.75 mL of 0.5 M, 2.87 mmol) in methanol was added. The reaction was heated under microwave irradiation at 140° C. for 1.5 hours. Water (52 μL, 2.9 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated by microwave irradiation at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1 N HCl solution (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). Organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 5-isopropoxy-6-methoxy-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (300 mg, 98%) as a beige solid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 211.1, found 211.9 (M+1)+; Retention time: 0.97 minutes (3 min run). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.83 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 4.72-4.61 (m, 1H), 4.06 (s, 3H), 1.45 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 7H).
