Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine (9.75 g, 0.0886 mol) in dichloromethane (55 ml) and 40% sodium hydroxide (55 ml) was added Adogen 464 (5 ml) and 6-chloropiperonyl chloride (20 g, 0,0975 mol) with vigorous stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Water (55 ml) was added and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried and evaporated, and the residue purified by flash chromatography (silica, 1% methanol/dichloromethane) and trituration with ether to yield the title compound (6 g), m.p. 100°-104° C.
