Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 19.89 g of 4-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]benzoic acid, ethyl ester in 200 ml of 3A ethanol was added 12.5 ml of 10N sodium hydroxide. This mixture was refluxed on a steam bath for 3 hours and then allowed to evaporate. The residue was taken up in water and treated with 10.4 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
