Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the lithium salt of 5-acetyl-2-chloro-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (1.1 g, 4.90 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (0.5 g, 5.95 mmol) in 20 ml of water is added 10% palladium on carbon (0.1 g), and the reaction mixture is kept under H2 overnight. It is then acidified with 1M hydrochloric acid (6 ml) and concentrated. The resulting solid is filtered, rinsed with water and dried to give 5-acetyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid.
