Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3.33 g (30.0 mmol) 2-fluoro-4-methylpyridine are initially introduced into 40 ml 2-ethoxyethanol, 14.6 ml (15.0 g, 300 mmol) hydrazine hydrate are added to the solution and the mixture is stirred at the boiling point (150° C. bath temperature) for 16 h. Thereafter, the reaction solution is concentrated on a rotary evaporator, the residue is added to 100 ml water and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (three times with 100 ml each time). The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue obtained is dried in vacuo.
