Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Benzyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl 1-benzyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylate (1.08 g, 3.38 mmol) obtained in Step 2 was dissolved in a mixed solvent of methanol (7 mL) and water (7 mL), and sodium hydroxide (0.680 g, 16.9 mmol) was added thereto, followed by stirring under heating and reflux for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water (50 mL), and 10% hydrochloric acid was added thereto to adjust the pH to 4.5, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration to afford the entitled Compound w (151 mg, 20%) as a white solid.
