Sulfuric Acid → HCID 67485361, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-bromo-3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)picolinonitrile (15 g, 52 mmol) was added concentrated H2SO4 (30 mL) and the slurry was stirred overnight, at which point the material was fully dissolved. The reaction was poured into 0° C. water in small portions. While maintaining the temp below 20° C., the aqueous layer was basified by the addition of NaOH pellets, to a pH of about 5, at which point a solid formed. The solid was filtered, and the remaining aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers, combined with the solid, were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to yield 5-bromo-3-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)picolinamide (11 g, 69%).
