Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(6-Bromopyridin-3-yl)prop-2-enoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

750 mg (3.1 mmol) of 3-(6-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-acrylic acid methyl ester was dissolved in 30 ml of dioxane and 4.65 ml of a 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction solution was poured into water and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid, whereupon the product precipitated. The product was isolated by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. Yield: 673 mg.
