Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-5-nitropyridine (500.0 mg), methyl 4-hydroxybenzenecarboxylate (958.6 mg) and potassium carbonate (1.31 g) were suspended in acetonitrile (5 mL), and heated under reflux for 16 hours. Water (50 mL) was added to the reaction liquid, extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and the organic layer was washed with aqueous 2 N sodium hydroxide solution (50 mL), water (50 mL) and saturated saline water (50 mL) in that order. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain the entitled compound (867.7 mg) as a brown solid.
