Reaction Steps

2-Amino-3-hydroxypyridine (5.51 g) was dissolved in pyridine (100 mL), and potassium ethylxanthate (8.82 g) was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hr. Iced water (400 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 mL) was added thereto. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the extract was washed with brine and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1,3-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-thiol (5.13 g) as a pale-brown powder.
