Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-6-methyl-isonicotinic acid (1.03 g, 5.98 mmol) in pyrrolidine (5 mL) is stirred at 85° C. for 6 days. The mixture is diluted with 1 N aq. NaOH (40 mL) and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The crude product is again dissolved in 1 N aq. NaOH (3 mL) and methanol (1 mL) and purified by MPLC on RP-C18-silica gel to give 2-methyl-6-pyrrolidin-1-yl-isonicotinic acid (1.18 g) as a beige solid; LC-MS: tR=0.52 min; [M+H]+=207.06; 1H NMR (D6-DMSO): δ 1.89-1.94 (m, 4H), 2.27 (s, 3H), 3.33-3.38 (m, 4H), 6.61 (s, 1H), 6.77 (s, 1H).
