Sodium Hydroxide → 2,3-Dichloro-5-hydroxypyridine

Temperature

0 °C

At 0° C., a solution of 13 g of sodium hydroxide in 80 ml of water was added to 16 g of 5-acetyloxy-2,3-dichloropyridine in 100 ml of ice-water. The mixture was subsequently initially stirred at 0° C. for one hour and then at approximately 20° C. for 17 hours, and the reaction mixture was then washed with 150 ml of ethyl acetate. The mixture was acidified up to a pH of 4-5 by addition of acetic acid and then extracted three times with 100 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate and finally concentrated. Yield: 12.2 g.
