Reaction Steps

7.1 ml of n-butyl lithium (1.6 M hexane solution) was added dropwise to a mixture of 1.62 g of 2,2,6,6-tetrahydropiperidine and 15 ml of THF at −78° C., and the mixture was heated to 0° C., then stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes. 7 ml of a THF solution of 1.0 g of 6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid was added to the reaction mixture at −78° C., and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour. Next, 1.42 ml of diethyl disulfide was added to the reaction mixture at −78° C., and heated to room temperature, then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 10 ml of 1 N hydrochloric acid was poured to the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture was separated into the organic layer and the aqueous layer. 1 N hydrochloric acid was added to the aqueous layer, and the precipitated solid was filtered. The resulting solid was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid and n-hexane to obtain 0.52 g of 4-ethylsulfanyl-6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid. The separated organic layer was allowed to stand overnight, and the precipitated solid was filtered, then washed with n-hexane to further obtain 0.68 g of 4-ethylsulfanyl-6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid. 4-Ethylsulfanyl-6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid
