Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 5-{2-[(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)amino]pyridin-3-yl}isoxazol-3-carboxylate (3.17 g, 10 mmol), ethanol (3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added sodium borohydride (0.38 g, 10 mmol) at room temperature, which was stirred overnight under a ice cooling to room temperature. The reaction mixture was divided equally into five, among which one was added to 5N aqueous sodium hydroxide (2 mL), which was stirred overnight at 55° C. To the reaction mixture was added water, which was extracted with a mixture of methyl-tert-butylether and tetrahydrofuran, and oxalic acid (0.18 g, 2 mmol) was added to the organic layer. The precipitated solid was filtered, so as to obtain the title compound (0.39 g) as a white solid.
