Sodium Hydroxide → Sodium 6-methoxynicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

methyl 6-methoxynicotinate (2.097 g, 12.56 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane (30 mL). An aqueous solution of NaOH (1.0N, 25 mL) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide 2.2 g of sodium 6-methoxynicotinate.
