Potassium hydroxide (5.60 g, 85%, 0.087 mol) in water (5 mL) is added to a stirred suspension of diethyl furo[2,3-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate (9.3 g, 0.035 mol) in absolute ethanol (100 mL). The reaction mixture is heated at 60° C. for one hour, then cooled and anhydrous acetone added. The precipitate is filtered off, dried, suspended in dry acetone and treated with hydrogen chloride to adjust to a pH of 2. Crystallization of the isolated solids from an ethyl acetateacetone mixture affords furo[2,3-b]pyridine-5,6-dicarboxylic acid mp 189°-192° C.
