Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (40.4 mmol, 8 mL, 5 N, 2.0 eq.) was added to a solution of ethyl 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-3-carboxylate (3.7 g; 20.4 mmol; 1.0 eq.) (J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 5230-5234) in THF (80 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried on under vacuum to give the title compound as a white powder (3.6 g, 92%).
