Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) suspension of commercially available 4-hydroxy-3-amino-pyridine (14, 19.3 g, 175 mmol) in acetonitril (1500 ml) was added 4-benzyloxy-benzoic acid (24, Ra=Rb=H, 40 g, 175 mmol), triphenylphosphine (142.5 g, 543 mmol, 3.1 eq) and trichloroactonitril (54.5 ml, 543 mmol, 3.1 eq). The reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 16 hrs at 80° C. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residues was dissolved in DCM and washed with 2N NaOH (3×). The combined water layers were extracted with DCM and the organic layers dried (Na2SO4) to give crude 25 (Ra=Rb=H) as oil which was used in the next step without further purification.
