Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of isatoic anhydride (72.60 g/445.0 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (116.74 g/445.1 mmol) in THF (1 L) at 0° C. was added diisopropyl azodicarboxylate drop-wise over ca. 50 min. The resulting pale yellow reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min. before drop-wise addition of a solution of 4-hydroxmethyl pyridine (48.57 g, 445.1 mmol) in THF (250 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The resulting red solution was filtrated through a pad of silica gel, and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with EtOAc and the resulting precipitated material was isolated by filtration and re-crystallised from EtOAc affording the title compound as a white solid material (37.5 g). The filtrate from this crystallisation was extracted with 0.1M HCl aq. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 7-8 with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The precipitated material was isolated by filtration and washed with water to yield more of the title compound (9.8 g). The combined aqueous filtrates were extracted several times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was re-crystallised from EtOAc affording an additional amount of the title compound (20.3 g). 13C-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 158.7, 149.7, 148.2, 144.5, 141.1, 136.9, 129.5, 123.8, 121.5, 114.8, 112.1, 46.7.
