Ammonium formate → HCID 68027926, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Pd/C (200 mg) and ammonium formate (200 mg) were added to an MeOH (10 ml) solution containing methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(2-methoxyethoxy)nicotinate (1.07 g) obtained in the 1st step, followed by reflux for 1 hour. Next, insoluble matter was removed using Celite. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. Then, the obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:0 to 1:5). A white solid of methyl 5-fluoro-6-(2-methoxyethoxy)nicotinate (264 mg) was thus obtained.
