Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 1-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (240 mg, 0.85 mmol) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (2.4 ml), methanol (2.4 ml) and water (2.4 ml) lithium hydroxide hydrate (107 mg, 2.54 mmol) was added. The solution was heated to 70° C. for 3 h. Most of the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Water was added and the solution was extracted once with ether. Then 4 N hydrochloric acid was added to reach acidic pH. The product precipitated and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to yield a light brown solid (223 mg, 98%). MS (ISP): 269.4 ({79Br} [M+H]+), 271.4 ({81Br} [M+H]+).
