Triethylamine → Ethyl 5-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Palladium acetate (267 mg), 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (1.3 g) and triethylamine (3.2 mL) were added to an ethanol-DMF mixed solvent (1/1, 20 mL) of 6-chloropyridin-3-ol (1.5 g), and stirred overnight in a carbon monoxide atmosphere (1 atmospheric pressure) at 50° C. Ethanol was evaporated off under reduced pressure from the reaction solution, water was added to the resulting residue, and extracted with chloroform/methanol (10/1). The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/3) to obtain the entitled compound (500 mg).
