Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (400 mg, 1.98 mmol) in MeOH (19.8 ml) and HCl (436 ul, 12M) was added 10% Pd(OH)2 (361 mg, 0.257 mmol) under N2 atmosphere. The N2 gas was displaced by H2 gas and the mixture was stirred for 18 h at 23° C. under hydrogen. The H2 gas was displaced by N2 gas. The mixture was filtered through Celite, washed with MeOH and concentrated. The residue was triturated with MeOH-Et2O, collected with Buchner funnel, and dried in vacuo to give the titled compound (433 mg, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ ppm 2.31 (s, 3H), 3.88 (s, 2H), 6.43 (s, 1H).
