Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate (1.473 ml) in DMF (48 ml) was ice-cooled and treated with sodium hydride (540 mg of a 60% dispersion in oil). After 1 hour methyl 6-amino-5-bromopyridine-2-carboxylate (3 g) (T. R. Kelly and F. Lang, J. Org. Chem. 61, 1996, 4623-4633) was added and the mixture stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The solution was diluted with EtOAc (1 litre), washed with water (3×300 ml), dried and evaporated to about 10 ml. The white solid was filtered off and washed with a little EtOAc to give the ester (0.95 g).
