Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-bromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol (1.31 g, 6.48 mmol) in acetone (150 mL), KMnO4 (2.61 g, 16.5 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 2 h before it is filtered over a sintered glass funnel. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness, and the remaining solid is washed with water and dried under HV to give 4-bromo-6-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid potassium salt (1.91 g) as a white solid; LC-MS: tR=0.45 min, [M+1]+=217.89.
