Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine (25 g, 227 mmol), triethylorthoformate (75 mL) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (61 mg) was heated at 140° C. for 8 h. Excess triethylorthoformate was removed under vacuum. The product was crystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 22.5 g of oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine.
