Water → 2-Chloro-4-methyl-6-morpholino-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methylester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.2 g (23.7 mmol) 2,6-dichloro-4-methyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methylester, 3.94 g (28.5 mmol) K2CO3 and 2.06 ml (23.7 mmol) morpholine in DMF (48 ml) was heated to 60° C. for 16 h. Then the mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by CC (hexane/EtOAc 4:1) provided 1.95 g (7.2 mmol, 30%) 2-chloro-4-methyl-6-morpholino-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methylester.
