Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [5-(4-fluoro-phenylcarbamoyl)-pyridin-2-yloxy]-acetic acid methyl ester (0.030 g, 0.99 mmole), ethanol (2 mL), and sulfuric acid (1 drop) was heated in a sealed tube at 80° C. After 6 h the reaction mixture was poured into ethyl acetate and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvents provided 6 mg (20%) of the titled product as a white solid:
