Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of methyl 5-hydroxy-3-methylpicolinate (0.8063 g, 4.82 mmol, step 3 intermediate 38) and cesium carbonate (0.772 ml, 9.65 mmol, Alfa Aesar) in DMF (48.2 ml) was added bromoacetonitrile (0.336 ml, 4.82 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc.). The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at rt. The reaction mixture was diluted with aqueous, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with aqueous, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, brine and dried over MgSO4. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. MS m/z=207.1 [M+H]+. Calculated for C10H10N2O3: 206.069. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) ppm 2.67 (s, 3H) 3.98 (s, 3H) 4.88 (s, 2H) 7.20 (d, J=2.35 Hz, 1H) 8.32 (br. s., 1H)
