Reaction Steps

A 2-liter round-bottomed flask is charged with 35.2 g (0.369 mol) of 4-hydroxypyridine and 250 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF). Under nitrogen, 42 g (0.369 mol) of potassium tert-butylate are added portionwise while the temperature is maintained at 15-20° C. with a water/ice bath. After the addition, the mixture is stirred for 2 hours and a pale yellow solution is obtained. 60 g (0.358 mol) of 2-nitro-5-chloroaniline are then added and an intense red coloration is obtained. The mixture is brought to 100° C. for 6 hours and then allowed to cool overnight. The DMF is evaporated off and water is then added; a precipitate is obtained, which is filtered off and washed with isopropanol in the heated state and then dried.
