Picolinic acid → HCID 14390489, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, triethylamine (0.30 mole) and a solution of freshly prepared acid chloride of 2-pyridine carboxylic acid (0.150 mole), obtained by heating at reflux 2-pyridine carboxic acid and excess thionyl chloride in benzene and then azeotropic distillation with benzene, in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) were added simultaneously (dropwise) to a stirred and chilled (10°-20° C.) solution of freshly prepared N-(3-amino-2-pyridinyl)glycine ethyl ester prepared by reducing N-(3-nitro-2-pyridinyl)glycine ethyl ester (0.106 mole) in 200 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and dissolved in ethyl acetate (250 ml). The solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (3×75 ml), water (2×75 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from isopropyl ether-tetrahydrofuran giving 26.5 g (83%). A 3.0-g sample was twice recrystallized from isopropyl ether-tetrahydrofuran to give 2.4 g of a white needles, mp 98°-100° C.
