Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-methoxy-5-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine-2-carboxylate (C2) (34.3 g, 139 mmol) in aqueous hydrochloric acid (37%, 230 mL) and 1,4-dioxane (230 mL) was heated at reflux for 18 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was filtered and the solids were washed with 1,4-dioxane (2×100 mL). The solids were mixed with methanol (500 mL) and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was stirred with methanol (100 mL) for 15 minutes, and 1,4-dioxane (250 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 15 minutes; the solids were collected by filtration and washed with 1,4-dioxane to provide the title compound as a beige solid. Yield: 35.4 g, 138 mmol, 99%. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.33 (d, J=0.9 Hz, 3H), 7.09 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.84-7.87 (m, 1H), 8.04 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 9.50 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H).
