Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.26 g of sodium hydride was added to a mixture of 5.0 g of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine, 3.13 g of methyl glycolate and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes, then at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was poured into ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 5.18 g of 2-(methoxycarbonyl)methoxy-5-nitropyridine.
