2,5-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid → HCID 53805562, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 1, 5 g of pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid are converted into the acid chloride with 40 ml of thionyl chloride in 30 ml of methylene chloride and this is reacted with 10 g of 5-methyl-2-nitro-benzyl alcohol in 50 ml of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature, sodium bicarbonate solution is then added, the mixture is extracted with methylene chloride and the organic phase is dried. After the solvent has been stripped off, the residue is stirred with ethyl acetate, filtered off with suction and recrystallized twice from methylene chloride.
