Ammonium formate → HCID 89666803, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)nicotinate and methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)nicotinate obtained in the 1st step was dissolved in MeOH (5 ml) and ammonium formate (300 mg) and 10% Pd/C (200 mg) were added thereto, followed by reflux for 4.5 hours. The reaction solution was adjusted to room temperature and filtered through Celite, the filtrate was collected, and the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:0 to 4:1). A white solid of methyl 5-fluoro-6-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)nicotinate (250 mg) and a white solid of methyl 5-fluoro-6-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)nicotinate (160 mg) were thus obtained.
