Hydrochloric Acid → 6-{4-Chloro-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propoxy]phenyl}-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add 3.16 g (56.38 mmol) of potassium hydroxide to a solution of 5.63 g (11.28 mmol) of ethyl 6-{4-chloro-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propoxy]phenyl}-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate in 132 mL of EtOH. Reflux the reaction mixture for 2 h and then concentrate under reduced pressure. Take up the residue obtained in 10 mL of water, then neutralize with 56.5 mL (56.5 mmol) of a 1N HCl aqueous solution. The precipitate obtained is filtered on a frit and rinsed with 2×10 mL of water. After drying under reduced pressure, we obtain 5.25 g of 6-{4-chloro-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propoxy]phenyl}-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid in the form of white powder.
