Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To concentrated sulfuric acid (45 mL) was added ethanol (100 mL) under ice-cooling, followed by adding 2-cyano-4-methyl-5-nitropyridine (3.54 g), and the reaction vessel was equipped with a reflux condenser, and the mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into ice, and the resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The water layer was extracted with methylene chloride. The extracts were combined, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to give the title compound (3.23 g).
