Chlorosuccinimide → Ethyl 4,5-dichloro-1-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-1-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.00 g, 4.64 mmol) and NCS (0.68 g, 5.10 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 0.1 N HCl solution. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.10 g (95%) of 4,5-dichloro-1-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester.
